A Weekend For Adventure...

Today I am preparing to travel with the church to a conference in Northern Greece. I have many emotions going on in me right now and although it may sound silly I am a bit nervous. I am not even sure who is going on the trip but I know that it is a wonderful opportunity for me to get to know the people of the church better. Many of the people will be in their upper twenties and lower thirties (I think) so they will be about my age. We will do many things, none of which I am sure of. I just found out where we were going this week. But God knows best and he has opened the doors for me to go so I want to make the best of it.

There was a deadline for signing up and since I was not planning on going I missed this date. I had a friend who asked me to go and when we talked to the person in charge he said that the trip was full. The next week he called back and let me know that there was a cancellation and I would be able to go if I still wanted. Open doors are always good but how you walk through them can make all the difference. Please pray for me this weekend as I will embark on another journey here in Greece.

I must remind you the reasons I get nervous about these trips and that is because I do not know the people very well yet and am not completely comfortable around them, and it is all in Greek. Even though the group this time will know English everything is done in Greek. So it is always a long tiring time away.
