Pre-trip Anxiety

I'm curious to know with 5 days to go, does anyone have any anxieties or worries about the upcoming trip that we could be praying for? Or maybe you just have some general concerns about leaving home for 10 days... (Josh)


The anxiety that I have is not so much about what lies ahead in Mexico, but what I'm leaving behind in Michigan. For me to leave my wife and kids for 10 days creates a lot of stress and worry. I worry about little things like -- will my wife and my mother get along for a week while I'm away? Will the kids go to bed well for my wife? Will my two-year-old be done potty-training before I leave? I realize these are small concerns by comparison, but they seem pretty big to me. My prayer is that my wife and mom work well as a team as they handle the little ones. I pray that all of their stress levels remain low throughout the week, and I pray that my wife truly enjoys the one on one time with the kids.... Josh
