shocked and surprised

We flew in a few days ago and the sickness dulled our excitement, somewhat reminiscent of our arrival in Scotland a few years ago. Mono leaves you consistently hazy and somewhat aloof. The little sharpness I once had is now lost in my fogginess.

Really just feeling a strong sense of purpose here. Any arbitrary changes up to this point could have us in any number of different places. But we're not.

We're here.

As we learned first-hand in Edinburgh, our purposes are often much different from God's and sometimes our plans must fail in order for His to succeed. Though I have certain expectations and vision for the next year of our lives, completely expectant to be shocked and surprised at what is in store for us.
