Today, right now, comfortable at home, I begin my blog. This is for everyone who I will fail to email while I am in India, and lack the monetary assistance to call from such a distance. This is also for me, as selfish as that sounds. So in later years, when I am surrounded by mounting piles of books and work, I can read back and see that once, I was an adventurer. Once, I was brave. Once, I followed Christ to a totally different side of the World, and learned from Him there.
Thank you for reading my blog, I am quite honestly, flattered. I hope it brings you some joy, and some insight into my life, and the crazy twists and turns it shall take in the next three months.
So why, you ask, do I start today? Because until now I have been busying myself with working two jobs, and running around the place trying to organize things. I start today, because in 15 days I will be flying from the Edmonton International Airport at 12:30 in the afternoon, to (eventually) India. I am taking part in the Asia Practicum Program through Torchbearers International, and living at a small bible college for Indian students and teaching, working, and hopefully furthering God's Kingdom, there for three months. I am very excited. And very scared.
So what is the plan for the next 14 days? Pack. Buy the stuff I'll need (sleeping pills.... :)). Say goodbye. All of which I'm sure I will make more difficult and complicated than need be. But nothing can stop this from being, entirely, Christ's trip. I could not, would not, do this on my own. But in His name, by His power, I am leaping off this cliff, and can't wait to see how He'll catch me.
Stay tuned for more updates.....(I promise it will be more interesting as the time goes on.......)
