The idea of being on the other side of the world becomes more real each day, and this morning it definitely hit me. It is an adjustment to come back to Metamora [Now officially Germantown Hills- we’ve moved out of village status! WooWho!!], and I can only imagine the adjustment when I get there. Even if I spend three hours trying to sort things out, I only make a dent in it. And by dent, I mean the small ones that happen when someone swings their car door open to fast, not the big baseball bat dents when people see them and go “ohh…”.
But really, please pray that I become more confident and trust God to take care of me. It is scary seeing myself react this way, since all the other times I’ve traveled abroad [including the last time to NZ] I had the “Go get em’ mentality.” I have a feeling that as soon as the clothes go into the suitcase, I’ll be feeling a lot better about things. If you know me, you know I’m a planner- and I can’t really plan anything right now, which leaves me totally out of my comfort zone.
Speaking of packing, I found out yesterday that I need to bring a sleeping bag. First- why? I really want an explanation. Second- talk about too big! I’m choosing between my favorite sweaters, pants, and shoes [necessities] and now I have to pack a sleeping bag…. Looks like I will be making my first abroad purchase earlier than I thought.
Take care and enjoy the beautiful sunshine today!!
