The number of days before my mission trip is now in the single digits...7!
The reality of everything that must get done before I leave has finally set in. So I'm going to use this little space in blog world to confess...I'm freaking out a bit.
Here's an example:
The other day I spent what seemed like an eternity staring at bins of travel sized toiletries trying to determine how many packs of wet-wipes and bottles of hand sanitizer are appropriate for a trip such as this. I counted the number of days I'll be in Ethiopia. I counted the number of wipes in each little pack. I calculated. I contemplated. I got stressed out.
Sounds like someone was in need of a reality check A little perspective maybe?
In a matter of days I'll be visiting orphans in a third world country...some of whom live in a trash dump. Yeah...you read that right. And there I stood at Super Target fretting over hand sanitizer. Really, Carrie? Really?
Reminds me of a video Shelly at Good to Be Crazy posted recently...
It's funny and makes for a good laugh. Until you catch yourself caught up in your first world problems. And then it's so not funny.
