Travel

Tomorrow morning, I am boarding a plane to go to Richland, Missouri where I will be greeted by my best friend Julie. Julie is getting married this weekend! I can't believe the time has finally come. I am honored to be in her wedding and to be a part of the celebration. I am getting a little sentimental thinking about all that we have been through.

Julie and I met at our Field Preperation Orientation for Journeyman. We bonded over Curtis Jones (at the time my current student minister that was best friends with her youth pastor...small world) on the bus ride from the airport to the farm. Then to our suprise and excitement we were paired up as roomies for those next 8 weeks...and the rest is history. Julie became coined as "my best friend in India". I feel like a part of me is in this woman...at least the India part of me. This Saturday she is getting married! She is marrying an amazing man of God (also a journeyman) who is perfect for her!!

Julie and I at the Taj Mahal just a few days after we arrived in India.

Julie & I well into our term and being very indian (we were making chocolate chip cookies).

The friendship continues even after India...us literally on Hollywood Blvd this January!

So to switch topics a little bit.... I have been traveling like crazy since I got back from India. I had someone today ask me if the people at the airport know me. I just want to say that I am thankful for the season of travel that God has given me...it is such a sweet blessing from him. Here is a recap of my flying schedule since I got back...
