Getting Ready

Getting ready is one of the biggest parts of any journey. I am convinced that when we are ready, things happen.

I have been with some friends and we have been talking about the role of preparation in our lives. Our conclusion after several days of discussion, is that things happen for the person who is ready.

One example of this is that I have never met a person who took an overseas mission trip without a passport. When people tell me they want to go to missions, the first question I ask them is about their passport status. When people are serious about world travel, they get the passport and begin to make preparations.

Perhaps you have been thinking about taking a mission trip or some other step of faith. Let me encourage you to get ready by taking the first step of preparation. I have found that the next step becomes obvious and easier when we have done first things first. When we are prepared, we will be amazed at the opportunities that show up.

If we are really going to go, now is the time to get ready!
