Third time. Third time we have unzipped, shuffled, re-packed, jettisoned what is not needed, added things that needed to be added, retyped, re-printed and re-zipped up 14 duffel bags.
God must have some great things planned because truly, we have had to re-do and re-think what we're doing. But, you know what I am already seeing? All the folks that are going have said that they are willing to leave personal things out, pack less clothes, take fewer travel gadgets, in order to get all the gear there. Personal bags, instead of containing personal items, now contain soap and clothes for orphans. Instead of that extra pair of shoes, they contain dental kits. Instead of gadgets for us, they contain toys for them.
So maybe now these 14 duffel bags really do contain personal items - because it's now a personal matter to see the lives of orphans impacted in the name of God.
Amen.
