allow me an early start

a wise voice called out to me today: start early.  get going.  do not wait until the last hour.

so here i am.  here is a catalogue of my thoughts and experiences along my journey.  

please enjoy:

today rob emailed me.  i've been keeping my eye on tickets to germany for my visit in early june, but that's about as far as i had given myself to dealing with the next step of my life.

i've thought much of it through (at least to the next year or so).  i've been planning on going for the SIM (short internship ministry) training and meeting rocco in june, coming back to work and raise support this summer, then going back sometime after august for a longer stay.

most of my plans still seem to be on par with what will happen, but they still seem so far off.

even the planning of this first couple weeks in june is a bit harder than i expected.  i've never met with a travel agent before, and i'm not sure if it will be the best deal, but i might end up trying that out for the first time.  every part of the experience is old and new at the same time.  i've been traveling for years, and even alone for a long while, but the details have always seemed to be handled for me.  now it's all me.

it's a big step, but look forward to it even as i take it.


.jrs.

prayer concerns:
  • that my passion and integrity is challenged and encouraged by the Holy Spirit
  • that plans for this first visit in june develop smoothly
  • for the people i will meet and come to know over the next few years
  • for my dedication to the last few weeks of school
