Last spring, when first approached with the invitation to join a European speaking tour, I had a wonderful thought! Looking at my husband, I said, "Honey, when I am done with my tour, why don't you join me overseas and we will spend a few days together traveling".
He responded that this idea sounded "nice".
As the months flew by, I would make reference to the extended part of the trip and the fun we would have.
Then in early January, after putting in many hours of research about hotels, airfare and excursions I started having a "check" in my spirit about the plans we were making. Would it be too much to meet up with Curt and go to Rome for 5 days after a very busy 10 days of tour? Would the "extended" part of the trip take away from the first 10 days of ministry? Would I be worried or anxious about all the details and not be focused on the conferences that I was speaking at?......you get the idea....I just did not have a peace about it.
So, I talked to Curt that night. Explaining my reservations, I asked what HE was feeling about the whole thing.
"Well", I just cannot seem to get to excited about it. I was going because I knew you would enjoy seeing Rome. And I know I will too when I get there."
"Why didn't you say something earlier?" I questioned.
"You never asked!"
So, today, I am challenging myself to ASK!!!! It is important not to assume!
