Liftoff

I just finished packing my bag, and now I am off to a last day of long goodbyes and last-minute advice. I pray that I have everything I need, for I'm curiously devoid of that "I'm forgetting something" feeling which I always have when packing for a trip.
There are still so many things I don't know, so many things that can't be quantified or prepared for. What gate do I need to be at? Where will I meet the person who's picking me up? Will I have enough time? How will I feel? I can feel myself starting to go crazy, attempting to prepare for every eventuality, and I have to remind myself that I am in God's hands. I have to trust that I will be given the tools to deal with whatever comes, and that God will take care of me.

Goodbye Anne, we'll all miss you. We're praying for you to have an effective time in India filled with spiritual growth. Of course, a little fun wouldn't hurt either. Come back with stories!
