T minus 8 days.

Yep, I’m leaving on a jet plane.

I‘m excited.
I’m ready.
I have no idea what to expect.
        And I like it that way.
               Just as a friend of mine said recently: “Embrace the unknown“….

The Lord will guide you always;
He will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land
and will strengthen your frame.
You will be like a well watered garden,
like a spring whose waters never fail.”
~Isaiah 58:11

Embrace it I shall.

Right now, I’d like to take this opportunity to introduce you to someone I’ll be working very closely with for the next 11 months…

My backpack.
We met at REI in Houston, Texas a couple months ago, and we just clicked almost immediately.

Here we are packing…..

And here we are getting all strapped in….

And here we are going for a walk…

We’ll be living in intense community with each other for the next 11 months, and though I know there’ll be some heavy times, there’s no other backpack I’d rather have with me on the journey.

I hope your holidays have been joyful and cherished.
Blessings on you as we enter this new year!
