We're getting closer to when we go to Albania for 3 weeks. In one way I'm very excited. In another way I have some apprehensions. In the past I have used such travels as one way to validate my personal importance. I realize that's kinda strange...or even a little sick. But I did. It's been a long time since the last major "ministry" travel experience. I don't feel that same ego stuff I did before but I'm on the lookout just in case. I just don't want to get sucked back into it.
I also want to be able to enjoy the whole experience w/o having to think this trip is going to decide my future or something like that. I've always wanted to be full time in missions but it's never worked. I just want to be free to enjoy this fully and not expect anything major afterwards.
