a vestige of thought...

I don't have much to report at this point, but I feel like I should post something to mark the beginning of my SMT adventures. I arrived at Asbury about six hours to begin an extremely busy week of training and preparation. We're on the go from 8 in the morning until 9 at night pretty much every day we're here. More on our specific plans to come later.

I am so excited to be here, but I'm a bit in shock that my 10-week traveling stint has finally arrived. The fact that I'm still so unsure about what I'm doing has really started to unnerve me. It's so strange to be here without Sam and all my friends and to be sleeping somewhere besides 1st Glide. We're staying in Aldersgate until we leave on Sunday. Aldersgate is wonderful, but it definitely feels like I'm at summer camp or on vacation more than anything else. I'm feeling a bit homesick, and I'm missing my roomie especially at the moment.

Still, I know that this is where I'm supposed to be. I know that God is going to take care of all the details of my trip, and also of everyone that I have 'left behind' over the summer. I just keep repeating that over and over to myself. "God is love... perfect love casts out fear."

God is good. More to follow. :)
