Yesterday the initial part of the launching journey began, as I flew to Seattle to connect with my teammates. I found it to be bittersweet. A rush of emotions, ones that I handn’t had time to feel due to wrapping up life before leaving for a trip, hit me at the security checkpoint in the airport. It’s pretty fitting actually that that is where I lost it, as that is what is hard to leave…the security I have in life… Security in my relationships, security the amazing job i had, security in friendships. It all can change while I am gone, some aleady has. Security in being able to provide for myself is also hard to leave. I have no idea where I am going and feel inadequate- not much of a sense of security in that is there?
As I felt this loss though, I was reminded of why I am going and who called me to go. I was reminded that my security ultimately is in Him. He is constant and steady- oh how I love this in my ever changing world… I was reminded of how he has gone before me and will not leave me… He is good.
So here I go! Next stop Cambodia! Please pray for my team!
