Arrival in Europe

I'm sitting in the airport in Munich, Germany waiting for my flight to Paris. It's hard to believe this day has finally come. I'm feeling overwhelmed with a wave of mixed emotions - excitement, sadness to leave the ones I love so much, anticipation, and abundant gratitude. I have so many thoughts and questions going through my mind: What will my host family be like? What will my day look like these next 7 months? Will I remember all I have learned at training and in college? Am I really ready for this? It makes me think of that song from the Sound of Music: "What will my day be like? I wonder. What will my future be? I wonder. It could be so exciting to be out in the world, to be free. My heart should be wildly rejoicing...oh what's the matter with me? I've always longed for adventure, to do the things I've always dreamed. And here I'm facing adventure, now why am I so scared ... I have confidence and confidence alone. Besides what you see, I have confidence in me." (Only not confidence in myself but confidence from God that lives in me)

So my goal was to pray for at least one opportunity a day to love someone, encourage someone, tell someone about the Lord, or just help someone. Then I was going to journal about it on here. Hopefully I'll have more to write about by the end of the day.

Ha...must be my computer is in German mode right now because when I clicked on the Spell-Check, the whole thing was highlighted in yellow. That, or I'm just a really bad speller.
