one day

one simple day, a day in waiting, can change your mindset in so many ways.

maybe for me it was a series of days (all of which should have taken place so very long ago). this past week i got an email from rocco, rob, and mark, all about my life as a missionary. i also sent out my first bit of letters to begin building my circle of support as i enter this phase of life.

i realized one thing over all this past week or two: as i prepare for the next seven months, i prepare for the rest of my life.

maybe i won't be spending the rest of my life in germany helping people understand and build their faith in Christ, maybe i will. either way, i'm focusing for the first time in my life on engaging the people i care about and actually caring about them and asking them to care about me.

it really is a unique time in my life.
