Heading off to Urbana today, and still not sure what to expect. Not sure why I'm going or what God has in store. But I read this on the homepage for Urbana '09, and it struck me as pretty directly related to me, despite the fact that it was probably just written as a general statement:
"At Urbana you'll learn how critical global issues like human trafficking, environmental degradation, poverty and divisions between peoples affect missions. You'll also be connected to tangible ways that you can take part in God's work to bring reconciliation and healing to our broken world through his Son."
God, I pray my heart is as open now as it was prior to Deputation. I know that I am going in apprehensive and I don't want to do that. I want to let you move and I don't want my own fears or plans to get in the way of what You want to do through me. Have Your way in me, Lord.
