Ready?

Okay. So I now have a plane ticket and a visa. Logistically.. I'm pretty ready to go.. Except the whole packing and raising extra money thing.. Spiritually, I suppose I'm ready. I mean, what do I do to prepare spiritually? Trust God with every step, right? Find my return to Thailand verse? I have: 


Romans 1:11-12. "For I long to visit you so that I can bring you some spiritual gift that will help you grow strong in the Lord. When we get together, I want to encourage you in your faith, but I also want to be encouraged by yours."


That's a pretty short summary of why I am returning. I do recognize it will be difficult and lonely at times. I realize that I will get homesick and wonder if anyone at home still cares. But I know that if I continually trust, Jesus will always be my source of comfort and he will remind me that I am where I am needed at that time.


Yes, I am nervous and anxious and uncertain about what is to come, but I'm also excited to jump back into these relationships and to see God move in big ways. My prayer over and over in preparation for leaving is that God will direct my steps and show me what I need to do. My second prayer is that I hear him.
