Total Awe

Have you ever experienced a time in your life where you can only wonder how you ended up where you are?? I hit that point today. I think I said to Caitlyn multiple times: I cannot believe we get our red shirts in just a few days and we leave on Sunday. SUNDAY! Maybe it was the booking of the travel hotel that put it all into perspective or the loading up of all our equipment for the summer. Whatever it was, I am simply in awe of the fact that I am (almost) a red shirt. I feel like I've been waiting for this moment for 3 years and I never actually thought it would happen. Seriously though, how did I end up here? I guess you actually have to ask me about my story and why I follow God like I do for that specific answer.

While I may know my background, I have not a clue what I did to deserve this job. Nor do I know what to expect to encounter this summer. I may know how to do my actual job, but in ministry it seems like half the job is always the unexpected. Today I'm In awe that God trusts me with all of that, expected and unexpected.

The only thing I can do is hang on, keep my head up, put a smile on, and pray every single second of every day.

And then put on that red shirt.
