Back to the Gypsies!!
Back to the Gypsies…
As I sit in the car, being chauffered to Washington, D.C. to catch my plane, my brain feels like a whirlpool and I watch the long list of items and ask, did I bring them, or did I forget them? I’m excited, but not the exhuberant excitement I’ve felt in past years. I have a suitcase that most likely exceeds the weight limit, full of 91 boxes of crayons, 25 toothbrushes and tubes of toothpaste, little girl things, matchbox cars, stickers, stickers, & stickers, clothes. I am thanking God for last-minute monetary gifts that will likely cover any excess weight charge!!
Whew!!!!! I must somehow decompress from all this preparation while my emotions are building, looking forward with expectation to seeing my friends on the mission team as well as the Gypsy friends I’ve been making over the last 2 years!! It’s a good thing that I DON’T have problems with HIGH blood pressure!! ☺
My biggest anxiety points seem to be:
1. Looking for the people I took pictures of last year so I can give them prints.
2. Staying focused among so many people and activities. PLEASE COVER ME IN PRAYER FOR THIS ONE!! I want to be where my Heavenly Daddy wants me to be at every minute, with every person He wants me to connect with. John 2:5 – I want to do what He tells me to do, and say what He tells me to say.
God has consistently told me through His messengers to “Just be you! You cannot imagine all that Jesus is going to do! Jesus! It’s just that easy!” When I had not spoken it to anyone, He said that I don’t have to be “adequate” for anything, to just be myself! It’s about spilling out God’s Love (Jesus) and Light and Joy all over the people!! “Well,” I thought, “I can do this!!”
“Love them, Nancy. Just be you and let my power and my light flow from you. Remember Paul? ‘I come to you NOT with fancy words to wow you, but in the power of the spirit!’ (1 Cor 2:4) I call you to love and encourage, to BE MY LIGHT. Go to the highways and the byways and love my people.”
Wandering with His Purpose,
Nancy
