Well lets be honest, I have never been a flexible person. I like schedules and organization and when plans change I get frustrated at the lack of control I have. I knew going into this mission trip that I would have to be flexible to some degree but I never realized how much control I was going to lose. Three weeks ago I gave up my right to control when I arrived at training camp. We never knew what was next and never had a say in what we were doing. This was the best preperation I could have had for the Philippines. Every day is different and the plans never seem to pan out. I will make a schedule for the week and then the next day it will change because we are needed somewhere else. I tried this whole schedule thing about three times until I finally gave up. Now I just wake up in the morning and wing it. I do whatever comes my way. Maybe I spend the day reading or maybe I barely have time to eat before my next duty. Its crazy but fun. Theres a sense of freedom that comes from letting go and doing what God tells you to do that day. God has opened my eyes to the world around me and I am starting to let go. Flexibility is getting easier as I just go with the flow. I am doing things I never would have done before. I am being free 🙂 Thats all I have to say for now but I am going to post some pictures before I go 🙂
