Looking at a calendar has always been something that I've enjoyed doing. Now, it's a part of my job. I handle recruiting summer staff and booking retreat groups during the fall and spring months. You could say that if I didn't have my calendar I would be totally lost! Today I looked at my calendar for another date…September 1…the day that will change my life forever. I have no idea what to expect or what to even begin to do to plan, but I feel so at peace knowing that the Lord has placed this on my heart and called ME by name to go out and further His Kingdom.
I have to make a confession; this is officially my first blog post…ever! You would think that someone that enjoys writing, and even at one point in her life wanted to be an editor, would have gotten into the blogging scene by now…nope… I guess I just always thought, "well I'm too busy" or "where do I even begin?". So, no more excuses, I'm diving in head first, a lot like this race. It is so nice to have a place to write down my thoughts, fears, hopes, joys, basically all the things that I know will come up during the planning and the actual journey.
Every morning since I committed to going on the race I have woken up and just looked at the sun shining through my window, imagining the places that I will see the sun rise and set beginning September 1st. I will continue to wake up each morning and go to sleep each night relishing the moments I have left in my home and looking forward to the possibilities that are close enough to touch! 7 more months!
