My suitcase is packed with some room to spare. My backpack has all the essentials for a long flight. My clothes are laid out for tomorrow's journey. I'm ready to go.
If you would have asked me 10 years ago to go by myself (without Chris or a close family member), I would have shrank in my shoes and said no. But life is funny. The new paths we take, the experiences that lead us to better (and sometimes worse) places all cause us to grow. And that is what I have done these past few years...grow.
It started with the epiphany moment (thanks to Pastor Pete) when I suddenly realized that it was time for me to go back to school. Three years later, with only seven weeks left in my undergrad life, I begin to get reflective.
Heading to Germany with mostly strangers (Shalyn and Lana are becoming good friends, but a generation seperates us) is a huge step. But I'm not panicking, my breathing is still normal, my heart beats slowly. I'm ready.
Pray for me as I step outside my comfort zone. Pray for the group as they encounter frustrations.
Here I go...
