It's the night before departure. Laundry has been done, bags have been packed, phone calls have been made. We've been "sitting in the boat" with Jesus in a sense for the past week. And now, after all of the teachings, drime practices, team builders, ministry preparations, its time for us to step out of the boat.  There is a lot of excitement, anticipation, questions at this point.  In some ways we are ready. In others not ready yet. But, sometimes the Lord calls us out whether we are ready or not. So...here we go. 

Isaiah 55:11-13

so is my word that goes out from my mouth:

It will not return to me empty,

but will accomplish what I desire

and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.
