Preparations.
3 and 1/2 weeks. 28 days. 672 hours. This is the time remaining to make, pack, organize my bags and thoughts along with dream about what my time will hold serving in Scotland. We tend to forget about what the signficance of preparation means to our very being. Jesus' prayers and solitude before his fated ressurrection, doctor's tools, books, and clear minds before surgery, studying for an important exam, tending to a garden to display it's true potential. Preparation is just as much part of our growth as is the experience itself. We need preparation to groom ourselves to the place we need to be to explore and take in each experience fully. So may this time be fruitful and plentiful in preparing the way to Scotland for my team and for me...I am "counting" on it.
