My reality show would look something like this...
It's the weekend before leaving for the D.R. As in two days left to prepare. I know it's time to really get serious with the pile I've stacked up on the card table in our bedroom.
But first...
I go outside at 8:30 a.m. to enjoy my cup of coffee while watering a few plants. Temps in the 90's day after day - could it be that God is prepping us for D.R. weather?
So, watering plants turns into trimming bushes and pulling weeds which then turns into washing two vehicles which then turns into 'Oh! My bird bath needs cleaning and refilling - and so do the three bird feeders!' Out comes the ladder and the cleaning brush.
Two and a half hours later, covered in mud and plant bits, I'm in the shower cleaning up so I can go with Don to do my lap swimming at the YMCA. I'm in training, after all.
So what does all this say about me? Maybe I'm easily distracted? I procrastinate? Whatever it says...I sure got some good work done today!
But I've got to PACK!
Hope you have a great experience. I remember running into a crowd at a restaurant on our way to our mission trip to New Orleans and hearing about their experiences and saying, "I hope we have experiences like that!" Well, we did and then some. I'm sure it will be great! Be safe!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear your experience was so good, Brett! All I've heard from folks at this church who have done this D.R. trip before is 'You're going to love it!'
ReplyDeleteThat is definitely a resounding testament to how great of an experience this will be.
Thanks for the good wishes!
Pictures, pictures! Helps you remember!
