Right now I am sitting in an airport terminal waiting to board a flight to the next season in my life.

I have my best friend sitting next to me and a back pack full of anything I could shove in it.

And I have all I could ever want or need.

There are butterflies in my stomach and questions running through my mind.

What will it be like?
What trials will I face?
Who will I be when I get back?
Can I do this?

 

Walking out of one season and into the next can bring about a wealth of emotions.


Excitement.
Doubt.
Worry.
Anticipation.

My emotions are conflicting and the process is bittersweet.

I am going to miss my family.

I am going to miss them terribly.

But, missing them is what I have to do to be in the will of God.

I’ll take that.

I will willingly miss my family knowing God’s will is going to bring me happiness that is unparalleled.

11 countries. 11 months.

Here goes nothin’.
