Even though it was my third plane ride of the day those were
the words that came to my mind. My
former squad mate and I approached our plane we were going to travel in and it
was maybe if not half smaller size then the planes we have been traveling
in. I entered the plane trying to
pass the guy getting situated in his seat and he stated; “It’s like a miniature
restroom.” I smiled and wanted to tell him he has no clue what I feel about
this plane.
Some
of you might be thinking. “Wow, Abby you are a big chicken. Or really Abby how
many plane rides have you been on in the last year and your still scared?” But it’s true flying has always
something that gives me a pit in my stomach. Not a bad one but one that reminds me that I am not in
control and I need to trust in the one that has control.
So
here I am, I have arrived in Mijas, Spain and I am already have begun a time
where I have a pit in my stomach. Now not a bad one but just a reminder that I don’t have control of my
life and it’s going to be a place where I lose more of myself and gain the eyes
of Christ.
I
have moved into a house with 10 other interns and able to share a life with 30+
people for the next six months. From digging deep of what the Lord has in store for us, to making dance
videos, to eating as a family and truly seeking what community looks like and
so much more.
I
am more then excited to live these next six months in a way that my life
radiates fullness, light and order as we have been challenged. I thank you for allowing me to be apart
of this. Stay tuned to how I am challenged and changed…
