This week I’ll be traveling away from home to teach the book of
Hebrews in Memphis, TN and then the book of Romans in Little Rock, AR.
As I prep for my trip, there are three basic things that are on my mind:
family, purity, and ministry. I thought I’d share how I plan for each of these when I’m on the road in case it might help you prepare for your own travels.
Family
Whenever I’m gone, I want to make sure my family knows that I love
them and that I’m thinking about them. I do this with phone calls, but I
also do a couple other things.
- For my wife I write her a card for each day I’ll be gone. The card usually has a short prayer or a couple sentences telling her something I love about her, and then a verse of Scripture. It takes about 20 minutes to do these cards (depending on how long the trip is) and I’m pretty sure it blesses her more than I realize.
- For the kids, I try to rally them together before I leave and show them on a map where I’m going. I ask them to pray for me while I’m gone and tell them what I plan to do while I’m there. I don’t always leave them something to open when I’m away, but I always bring them something back to let them know they were on my mind while I was there. Continue at Garrett Kell
