wait and see

We are leaving tomorrow for our trip and while I am excited about the trip, about learning about evangelism and just seeing what God has in store I am hoping that I am prepared.  I feel like in general I am pretty flexible and willing to do and try just about anything but until today I had not thought about the emotional tole traveling may take on a person.  I have traveled before but it has always been to vacation spots which cater to Americans.  I realized today that this will be my first opportunity to experience what it is like for many immigrants who come to the states.  I have thought about what people from other countries may feel like coming to the United States, not understanding the customs, language and systems of this country.  I guess, this experience will be my first taste of what that is really like for them.  I know it won't be exactly the same due to the fear many immigrants feel coming to the US but it will probably be the closest I get to that experience.  It is always a good practice to learn empathy and be able to put yourself in someone else's shoes.    My other "worry" is whether or not my current state of exhaustion will affect my ability to be flexible and maintain my mental acuity. I realize that God can and does work even when we are not at our best and often works in spite of ourselves.  I know that God is at work in this trip and I will leave a different person that I arrive and with God's help it will be for the better.  I guess we will just have to wait and see what God has planned!
