Never in my life has the end of one chapter and the beginning of another been so clear. Words can’t really describe all that I’m feeling. Its such a mix of nerves, sadness, joy, peace, excitement….
In this new chapter, a lot of what will happen I know I can’t plan for and won’t necessarily expect. That alone makes this even the more exciting. Life is all about adventure, after all.
As I sit here on this 6 hour bus ride to Atlanta, I have ample time to contemplate the next 11 months. I know I can’t fully know what to expect… but I may have some ideas. Such as:
Laughter
and with it, unspeakable joy
A deeper love for Jesus
A stronger appreciation for my roots
An expansion of my borders-and a tightening of my boundaries
Loss
Gain
Tears
So much worship- and not just in the conventional sense, either
Community
Lessons
Friendship
Tangible love
New strength- in all forms
ADVENTURE
Experiences unlike anything I’ve ever had
Dirty everything
Lots of different beds
Lots of different transportation— lots
Redemption
Healing
Miracles
Faith unlike anything I’ve ever seen or experienced
A greater appreciation for the simple things, and the things that can’t be bought
Thankfulness
Peace
GROWTH- in every form.
Fearlessness
Identity
Bugs
Rice…
New food
New music
New people
New places
New things
Priceless moments
Countless memories
A story
