My brain is telling me right now that it is hot outside. It is 74 degrees outside. 74. I am not prepared for the heat that Gemena has to offer me. After realizing that I thought that 74 degrees was hot, and laughing at myself knowing what I was getting myself into I looked up the weather for the week in Gemena. The "highs" for the week are all above 90 and the "lows" do not fall below 70. Currently at 8pm it is 74 degrees there. Not to mention the high levels of humidity that accompany the heat. The weather was no secret when I said yes to this trip, it is something I won't be able to escape from, something I will need to learn to deal with and not survive from because after all I am there for two months and so if survival is my method of living it simply will not go well.
I realize that I cannot be fully prepared for this trip and the heat is a small example of that. I want to be prepared, I love to be prepared for what is to come, that is just how God made me but the more I sit here thinking about the trip I am about to embark on tomorrow the more I realize how unprepared I am. I think and hope I am prepared as one can be to go on a trip such as this, but there are so many unknowns that I simply can't prepare for, and that is okay. I am excited for the unknowns and to look back and see how God did indeed prepared me for this trip whether I realized it then or not.
After saying some goodbyes to people this week I was getting back in the car and someone yelled out; "Try not to sweat!" I think I am going to try that out. I'll let you know how it goes.
