a work in-progress

an attempt to look for Hope in all circumstances.
though i may fail seventy-seven times.

Last minute nerves.

Okay, I’ll be honest.  When the political stuff was going down in the Kyrgy I was thinking Jason Bourne kind of stuff.  You know, ducking from police, doing crazy jumps over buildings, disarming guns pointed at me point-blank, that sort of thing.

But now I’m sitting at home on my last night.  Haven’t packed yet.  Only 10 days, nothing big, really, nothing big, but I suddenly feel nervous.  Really nervous.  Like I don’t want to go nervous.  I feel like my faith is super weak, but I’m still going because non-refundable escapades await me.  I just hope non-refundable only implies the financial sense.

I hope to bring back good stories.  I hope I bring the stories back myself, hah!

Oh man.  Man oh man.  Have I gotten this complacent?  Attached to comfort, safety, security?  The next day is unknown to me and it bothers me, a great deal.  To the point of being super jittery.  Has a predictable, routine lifestyle won out?  Does being in control mean that much to me?  I have no idea and I have no idea of what to expect.

But nevertheless, here’s to 10 days of who knows what!  May God’s name be praised.
