The Day Before

It is the night before I embark on my Odyssey, my quest, my adventure, and my life changing trek across Europe.

My feelings are over a wide spectrum. I feel excited, nervous, thoughtful, ponderous, ready, a little bit sad and everything in between.

This trip has been something that I have been planning for about two years. It seems strange that it is here. The moment has finally come. Tomorrow has been riding on the back of so much planning and preparation that is almost seems unreal that I leave tomorrow.

I am unsure of what to say. Am I ready? I have my bag backed, my passport, my train ticket, money and etc. So am I ready? Yes and maybe no. I don't think I am ready for the soul searching, mind pondering, and self discovering that I will encounter. At least not to the degree that I know it will be. This trip is exactly for those purposes, but I do admit that I know it will be much different than what I am expecting.

I am ready however to find out what I want in life, to come back home and be ready for whatever life or Heavenly Father wants to throw at me. This trip and this odyssey is a preparation for my life.

What I want from this trip is to be taught and to be conditioned for the life that is in front of me. What that is, I don't know but I am ready. Well as ready as anyone can be.

This is my spring training for life. Ready or not, here it comes.

God,
I am ready.
