I so desire to take flight right now, ready to leave this life with its familiar rhythms and join in a new one.

A friend of mine was blessed to start such a journey today, though he has stated the fears, the unknowns, these things excite me for him and cause a bit of envy.

Tomorrow I have a meeting with a woman regarding heading out on a journey of my own, one that had the potential of a two year commitment. The Lord has told me that is not what He has, so we will be talking about a shorter mission. I am excited for the possibilities...I know that He has some great plans for me...with the freedom from the office, I could take several longer trips a year. I know that longer trips have the potential to steal portions of my heart and hold it captive in that nation, but the pain would only be due to an incredible blessing.
