Lizzie In India

Typically I have no problem packing for a trip  - be it short & close to home, or even overseas.  This is different.  I feel like I have nearly everything I need, yet my suitcase seems woefully empty.

Sure, I have plenty of anti-bacterial items, and I had no problem with electronics - two cameras, battery packs, lenses, computer, external hard drive, and so on….but skirts, respectful clothing that I hopefully won’t sweat right through, and wanting to pack clothing I can wear multiple times.  It just looks so empty.  However, I’m sure compared to the people I’ll be visiting, it looks like I have a million dollars.

I wish I did.

To give to them.

My heart is trying to prepare for what I’ll see and experience.  I know there’s no amount of preparing that will get me completely ready.

I have many prayer requests for the trip, for safety, success in achieving our goals, safety (yes, that one again), and personally for me, prayers for a healed heart.  Those of you who know me well, know why….

Ok, back to packing & off to take my first round of anti-malarials!
