Today, Kelly's Korner is doing another "show us your life" thing, and the theme is show us your mission trips. Which is awesome, because I'm getting home from a mission trip on this very day.
I had every intention of posting all about our mission trip when I got home at 5:30ish today. I'd even composed the post here and there in my mind throughout the week. Only I'm not so much going to do that anymore.
See, this mission trip was my yearly Spring Break Youth mission trip, where we drive eleventy billion hours in vans down to the southest part of Texas and work on people's houses and such.
But I got home about an hour ago. At 9:30. After starting our trip at 7:30. Let me do the math for you. That's 14 hours in a van with 13 high school girls. While I love these girls dearly and wouldn't want to drive any other children around, I don't think I want to ever spend 14 hours in a van with anyone, even Jason Mraz or Mat Kearney. Well, maybe them. Maybe.
So, I'm not writing about my mission trip.
About the houses we worked on.
About the adults that I went with.
About the kids we took.
About the songs we sang. (Taylor Swift: you have nothing to worry about love.)
About the place we stayed.
That all has to wait until tomorrow, because my bed is calling my name and I have heard it calling from Harlingen.
To tide you over, here are some past posts about my mission trips:
