Hello faithful blog readers and blog stalkers (don’t worry, I’m a blog stalker too). I am officially moving over to a new blog site now that my World Race is over (at least it is for now…). Feel free to follow along at my new blog, and read below for my most recent entry:
I remember how I felt at this time last year.
I was overrun with nerves and my to-do list stretched around the entire block. I was worried about pretty much everything, including: the amount of underwear I should pack for eleven months of traveling, how much money I should budget for a year in the Third World, and of course – how was I going to pay for the remaining six months of my lease.
Oh, I remember so damn clearly the amount of raw faith and pure panic with which I prayed in those days. I remember the moments where I begged and pleaded with God and reminded him a thousand times that I needed his help because nothing else was working. I remember how my heart teetered somewhere between faith and doubt and I felt nauseous from all the swaying.
And I also remember the night when someone wrote me a check for the amount of my rent in full and the song “O Holy Night” was playing and I let tears that had been damned up for so long come dripping down my face.
This year, I feel the same amount of panic, but for different reasons.
