Some more thoughts on the brink of departure....

And I am still counting the days...just 9 left. My feelings on the brink of departure are a mixture. I told a friend the other day, I am not sure if I will be estatic with excitment when I get off the plane or crying. I know that this journey will change me and my perspectives on much of my life, culture and faith. Last week my pastor preached on Jesus walkin on water and Peter, one of his disciple steps out of the boat with him and for a few faithful steps walks on water with Jesus. Then as fear arises, Peter begins to sink and Jesus grabs him to keep him from drowning. I feel like this is my chance to step out of the boat...the next 8 months are so unknown. Although there is so much to be anxious about, I know God is going to faithful and substain me through good and bad.

13 days and counting...

I have only 13 days before I leave for Romania! I am mostly excited, somewhat anixous and a little bit freaking out : ) How do you pack for 8 months? Its been almost a year I have been planning this trip, about this time last year that the seed was planned for me to do my internship in Romania...but than a knee injury came along...and here I am 1 year later, finally going!
