As I finish packing my bags (and weighing and re-weighing them to make sure they are less than 50 pounds) I start to have the same thought that many of you might have: Kristian, what in the world have you gotten yourself into? To be perfectly honest, I'm not 100% on the answer to that question yet. However, that uncertainty, that feeling of nervousness creeping into my stomach, is exactly why I want to, or rather have to do this. I strongly believe that in order to be the best ME I can be, I have to go beyond what's easy. It's times like this when I feel myself stepping outside of my comfort level that absolutely gets my blood pumping. As I am writing this I am less than 6 hours away from boarding my flight so I'm going to try and catch some shut-eye with a racing heart and a stomach full of butterflies.

Kristian,
ReplyDeleteI did this backwards, but I just read all your entries, and decided to comment on the first one. Thanks for writing this quick, easy to read notes. You've got a way of helping the reader feel like we're right there with you, and I hope you can feel that we are. You're in our prayers, and I'm going to enjoy following your blog this year. I can really appreciate what you wrote about feeling like this is something you just need to do. And that's a gift--to have the boldness to follow your heart. You've already found the key...
un abrazo,
Jenny
