I am sitting at BC's house in Richmond watching her pack for tomorrow, and I'm trying desperately to wrap my mind around this adventure I am about to embark on. Tonight Joel, Mandy, Matt, and Theresa came out here with me to have dinner and then return back to Lexington with my car. It was a quiet ride for the most part, but it was good to have the family car time.
Today I woke up after sleeping through most of the night, which thrilled me to no end, and I just kept going. I never really stopped to take any sort of break or inventory in my mind about what was going on. I just had this continuous list of things to do, people to call back, what to leave behind, notes to write, etc...I accomplished everything on that list which was amazing...but it has left me still with the feeling of being overwhelmed and under prepared. It also put me in this quiet place in my mind where I just kept going over the things I felt I needed to do, and I focused a lot of energy doing just that over analytical process.
I am tired now. It's time for rest, but due to the nature of the coming trip the later I stay up tonight, the better off I am for the plane ride tomorrow. I am nervous. I am anxious. I am excited. I think I'm mostly in denial- I can't believe its really happening.
So things to pray for:
1) Continued healing as I still don't feel very well, and traveling could exacerbate this state of illness.
2) Safety in travel through Atlanta, Seoul, and finally in Bangkok.
3) Open heart and mind to all that is about to happen in this adventure.
