I don't think it's hit me yet, but I'll be heading to the Philippines in less than 48 hours. It's so close that I can smell the Manila airports' congested air. I can feel the mountain air blast me through the windows of a bus. I can taste the morning milo-cha warming my throat. I can feel God move in souls. The sound of a foreign land praising Jesus is at hand. I can already feel the sweat dripping from my face during intense worship. I can hear the Filipino people sing in their native language, lifting hands in worship to God.
One year. Has it already passed me by? How much has my life changed? How much closer am I to Christ? Lord God Almighty, I pray that you open my heart and minister to me as well during the next two weeks. May I grow closer to You as I become Your hands. May ALL glory go to You for what is accomplished.
The roar of the airplane sounds.
It's time.
