Well, I'm going with Osaka-onee-chan to the Dominican Republic on Thursday, and I was just going to echo what she said on her thread until I read it. When I read it and figured out that we're looking at it in two entirely different lights, I figured I'd better just go ahead and make my own thread (way to make things easier on me, Osaka. . . *shakes fist*)
Anyways, I'm really not all that nervous or stressed out. Unlike Osaka, I have no problem telling the VBS lady that I'm sorry, but have too much on my plate to help her, and that there are 29 people other than me going who have nothing to do who would be glad to help her out. I do have a bit to do packing-wise (mainly, I need to START DOING IT), but I'm not anxious about that either. I don't know if it's God helping me or me just being an idiot, but I'm absolutely just laying back and resting in the fact that I know God will take care of me and that he'll help me get everything done.
However, there is one thing I'm nervous about. . . flying. I wasn't at all nervous about it up until two weeks ago when I had a bad dream about it at camp. I don't remember too much about it, just that I felt like I was holding the plane up with my mind or something and that if I relaxed it would crash, . I think maybe in the end it did crash, like I said I don't remember. It's funny in a sense, but it also leaves me feeling a little uneasy. I'm afraid I might freak out a little when I'm boarding the plane. And darn it, I want to enjoy my first flying experience! So please just pray that I'll get everything done, that I'll keep trusting God, that tomorrow we'll get all our skits worked out (Osaka and I are going to be two of five clowns! He he!), that everything will go smoothly while we're down there, that I'll let God use me the way he wants to, and overall I'll come back closer to God then when I left.
Thanks!
