Day 1: Setting out - The Lord goes before us
Read: Exodus 13:21 &
Exodus 40:38-39
Meditation: During the long time the Israelites were wandering in the
desert, the presence of God was visibly with them. God appeared in the daytime
as a cloud, and at night as a flame or fire. They were always led by God, they
were never alone, and God’s presence was always visible to them. During this
long journey to the Chiang Mai, far from home and familiar things-- look for
God’s presence. Look for that presence to guide today’s actual journey for safe
travel, look for that presence to help you as [we organise medical clinics],
look for that presence to encourage you in the uncertainty of the tasks ahead.
Prayer: Guide our journey
today, God; help us arrive safely to do your work. Let us greet
enthusiastically this wonderful opportunity to serve you by helping our
neighbors. Open our eyes to see Your Presence at work in this place. Amen

I
finally get to meet them – the team – for the first time, 3 hours before our
departures.
Dengan
susah payah, me & Jo bring our luggages downstairs from her flat. 1 giant
roller luggage, 2 medium roller luggages, 1 big tall duffel bag, 1 sports bag, &
1 full backpack. We wait for about 15 mins outside her flat to get a cab then
heading down to the airport.
Changi
is so beautiful at that time. The singing raindrops mengayun turun naik, diiiringi
alunan musik, menarik perhatian para penumpang yg sibuk mengabadikannya dgn
berbagai gadgets. Too bad I don’t have time to take pics, karena handful bgt
dengan bagasi kami yang demikian banyak dan berat.
Di
dekat mesin timbang barang, ada beberapa cewek berkumpul. My gut tells me it
must be them. And it is them. Mx, the dietician. Ax,the peds ICU nurse. Wx
& Cx, the peds residents. And Rx, the banker. Total 7 of us, an
all-female-team. Ketika melihat barang2 mereka, wah...sampe geleng2. Barang2ku
dr Indo gak banyak krn kupikir mereka akan overbaggage banyak, jd bisa pake
jatah bagasiku. Tapi ini sih...buanyaaaaaaak bgt. Berkilo-kilo pakean bekas dan
buku bekas dalam beragam tas & koper, disertai meds dan sumbangan pensil
warna.
