The past few months seem like a giant blur. Track season, Finals, ECACs, Graduation, vacation in Florida, and now, Papua New Guinea. I have not even had time to process all of the things that have happened or the changes I have experienced. As I look back on these experiences and cannot help but smile because I have done my best to live with no regrets. But this blog is not for reminiscing about my college days, it is about the next few steps in my life. Steps that take me to Papua New Guinea.
So here I sit, at my desk in my bedroom, about to embark on one of the most exhilarating and unique experiences of my life. From the day I decided to accompany Lea to PNG until now, I have not felt the slightest twang of either doubt or anxiety. It could be because I am naively floating toward this experience, ignorant of the challenges of the next six weeks. Though probably true, I think the only way to explain my sense of peace is that I have felt God guiding and directing every aspect of this trip. From flight plans to fund raising, God has shown himself faithful and trustworthy every step of the way.
I feel somewhat melancholy about leaving, knowing that when I come back it will not be to my "normal life" of classes, cafeterias, and constant interaction with friends and peers. I am not disheartened however, but rather confident in God's plan for my life and for this trip. Lea and I both joyfully anticipate discovering how God will utilize us and this trip to bring glory to His name.
