This is what I was going for...

Well, I'm in Amsterdam! It finally feels real. I was sitting in the Minneapolis/St.Paul airport and it didn't feel real. But here I sit in the Amsterdam airport for the next 4 hours. Next, Entebbe, Uganda!
As I sit here alone I'm reminded that this is what I've been waiting for. This is the position I asked to be in. On my own headed somewhere I've never been, meeting people I've never met and experiencing things that will change me forever...yep, sounds about right.
I know this won't be easy. It's going to stretch me and teach me. I will be vulnerable because I don't have my usual people I can talk to about stuff or when I'm stressed out...just me. I have committed with only blogging as a means of communication. God will be hearing lots of my thoughts on this trip. Not that he already doesn't but I tend to tell more than just him :) not this time!
So onward....well in 4 hours! Oh, by the way. I apparently missed nighttime...I left Minneapolis at 3pm an it's 7am here. I missed that part of the day where you sleep :)
Hoping I can continue to do blog!
