Well we are now at two weeks to our first flight. I am starting to feel that excitement build inside. I’m trying to temper it as there are still two weeks until the first flight. No reason to become a basket case. But then I don’t want to downplay how amazing this is going to be. This Saturday is our last meeting regarding this trip. So many details to go over and yet again, I don’t want to overdo that and be so worried about the details that I miss the bigger picture.
Speaking of picture or pictures, I’m so ready to see the beautiful vistas that will be before us through most of our time in Kenya. It will be such a different landscape from Nebraska. I’m sure it will strike us deep in our soul at all that there is to see. And that leads me to the people we will be sharing our time with while there. To meet new people is one thing, but to meet new people in a culture different from my own will be so eye opening and at the same time humbling. To see the greater plan of God in lands beyond the borders that I know.
So last night I was thinking of all the things I’ve tried to put on my list to take with me and suddenly I realized I will need a hat. Not just some baseball cap sort of thing, but something with a brim to cover my ears. Which I’m sure will make me look goofy, but who wants sun burnt ears? And sunscreen. Plenty of sunscreen. I normally tan easily, but I haven’t really had to opportunity to be out in the sun along the equator, so I’m going to play it safe.
Ok, I’m failing at keeping the excitement down. I am excited. I am seriously excited to go and enjoy something I have never experienced.
