I Wonder

I wonder what entering a completely strange, foreign culture will be like!

I wonder if I and our team will be able to adapt to schedules that are different than we are used to!

I wonder if we will be accepted by the children, staff and teachers at the school.

I wonder if I will know how to build a block construction classroom.

I wonder if the children will appreciate and be able to use all the clothing and school supplies that are packed in our team's suitcases.

I wonder if our team will all get along!

I wonder if I will see any lions, elephants, leopards, crocodiles, giraffes or other wildlife.

I wonder what worshiping in a different church will be meaningful.

I wonder if I will be able to sleep on the plane as we travel through two night times.

I wonder if what we do will make a difference in some child's life.

I wonder.

I wonder if the Lord of the universe had questions about the world he was to enter.

I wonder if he ever doubted the purpose and "rightness" of his calling.

I wonder if he ever felt discouraged when people didn't trust and accept him.

I wonder if he was ever anxious, fearful, tired or impatient.

I wonder if he understands the feelings, thoughts, uncertainties our team is feeling as we now are just 27 hours away from departure.

I wonder. that's all.

Dear Lord, help me in my unbelief. Help me - help us to be good representatives of your kingdom. Help me to understand that it is better to serve than to be serve; to love than to be loved; to give than to receive; to go and do rather than sit and wonder. Amen
