We are Ready

The suitcase is packed to the brim

And the check-list is covered in black ink checks

And we're finally ready

Physically.

 

We've sat and talked about this trip

For what feels like forever

And we've grown together

In friendship

In love

And in faith

And we're finally ready

Socially.

 

But emotionally ready

That's up to us.

 

Right now

We are full

With questions and mixed emotions

Excitement.

Fear.

Hope.

Concern.

 

But after this week

We will still be full

But with

New friendships.

New experiences

New understanding

Of this thing we call life

And this Savior we call God.
