I really should be sleeping…but I feel like a kid the night before the first day of school, or Christmas, or a big birthday party or something like that. I haven’t felt like this in a LONG time….and it feels really good! I feel really alive!
I am a mix of excitement, nerves, and great expectation. I feel twinges of sadness at the thought of not seeing my dear friends and family in person for 11 months, but am so thankful for technology and the reality that these relationships are deeper than distance. But mostly I feel like I’m about to jump off a cliff and I know that God is waiting for me to jump too, and when I do, He’ll catch me in His arms and we’ll soar! This open door to pursue things my heart is passionate about is one of the greatest feelings I’ve known. I’m overwhelmed by the goodness and kindness of God…
Tomorrow afternoon I board a plane from Fargo to Los Angeles. I’ll meet up with my squad leaders and the other team leaders and we will be off to the Philippines to start this World Race.
