Gearing up...with bronchitis
I am two days away from my first overseas trip ever! This time on Thursday I'll be a couple hours in to a 15-hour flight to Delhi, probably with a nervous stomachache and trying not to frustrate my seatmates with another coughing fit. I can't believe that this summer is actually happening: India for a Rhodes Maymester and South Africa with Campus Crusade! As I've been trying to prepare for these trips I have become more and more aware of the fact that I have hardly any idea what to expect. And I'm not a huge fan of the unknown, so the nerves will be cranking it into high gear. I have been blessed to travel in a lot of the 50 states, but I have not had the opportunities that I will face this summer to experience completely different cultures, people, environments, temperatures (I will be experiencing lovely 120s F in Delhi), etc. I don't know what I'll learn, but I do know that I will be changed. And I'd appreciate your prayers for my preparation for this trip - emotional, mental, spiritual, and physical (that this bronchitis is quickly taken care of with the medicine). Wish me luck! :)
