I'm in a daze of sorts, with the feeling that something is
coming but I'm not sure what, besides the fact that I am flying on a jet plane
across the world. It feels like when there is a crazy roller coaster at an amusement
park and you look at it and think, what do I have to lose, it’s not that big..
So you walk up the stairs and you realize how small you are in comparison to
this huge piece of metal but no thought to turn back comes into your head, in
fact you walk a little faster, wait in line for what seems like a lifetime and
then all of a sudden you’re getting strapped in and the chances of getting
stuck upside down or flying off the tracks come to mind but still you think I'm
good its ok, it’s not even that bad anyways. So the buggy the starts trekking
along slowly, butterflies are forming in your stomach but it doesn’t seem high
at all. All of a sudden you’re at the top thinking WHAT WAS I THINKING I WANT
TO GET OFF, THIS WAS A DUMB IDEA!!! It's too late to turn back though, you have
no control over what happens next and the feeling of falling overcomes your
body, flying through the air in all sorts of directions you cannot see but
after a few twists and turns you’re at the beginning again, shaking with
adrenaline and excitement ready to do it all again. So I go today full of faith
and confidence leaving the past behind and looking forward with the
anticipation of growing more in Christ, I am going to stay soak in everything
that comes my way knowing God loves me and thus will refine my character so I
can come to mirror his. Thank you for your prayers and coming with me through
this journey for the next months.
