Greg on a mission!

My brother’s flight to the Philippines was canceled due to a typhoon.  They are scheduled to leave tomorrow (well today now) at 10:30pm, but they are trying to get a flight in the late morning.

As much as I want to ask all of you to pray for the safety of the all team members throughout the trip, the flight would go smoothly, and that everything would just go “according” to their plans (even getting the earlier flight)… I have to ask myself to step back and really ask why is it that we go on mission trips?  Is it to CONTINUE to live our comfortable lives and ask God wouldn’t change our customary daily routines too much…or are we really called to step COMPLETELY out of our comfort zones?  Sometimes we focus so much on the team and the preparations needing to be done the worries and anxieties that fill our thoughts, and forget God has His hand in everything…  And yet we continue to ask God to help the team, ease the worries, to take care of things that need to be done, and it’s almost asking God to make this mission trip as comfortable for us as possible.  We don’t remember or really believe if God has willed something to happen, it will happen.  It’s almost selfish in a way, so if you happen to be praying for Greg and his team, pray for the unsaved souls in the Philippines, and that God would open the team members eyes to the harvest that is ready.

Sorry, just a random post…and it almost sounds like I am going (sorry it’s a twin thing you wouldn’t understand), but as a prayer warrior for them, I need to see things as God sees them, and He has already blessed Greg’s team and preparations it’s time to focus on those that will be ministered to, and that they can receive the love of God openly!

Alright…g’nite!  Do hard things big brother…
