Moon shot.
Time has kicked into turbo speed. It seems so unreal that I have been in San Diego for over a month, and even more unreal that we will be hitting the road in five days! It’s going to be so strange leaving this beautiful community. I have grown so comfortable with this family of sixty ,but soon enough it will be my family of 4 in that 15 passenger van.
The office has been crazy, and sleep is hard to come by. I don’t know if I have ever spent so much time pouring over my computer. Yesterday I was chosen as my team’s leader for the tour, I am excited and humbled by the opportunity to lead such an incredible group of people. My team and I have come so far and are really working on investing in each other and serving one another. I have learned every challenge is a blessing, its just a matter of if we choose to treat it as one.
Although my life is pretty far from normal at the moment, it is about to get a lot crazier. I know my time on the road will grow me, challenge me, and exhaust me. The greatest reward is knowing the impact I may be willing to have on just one person I meet in the next few months. While I do anticipate challenge, and I know the best and worst will come out I have absolute faith that in the end I will come out of this experience new.
We are about to set out on this mission to achieve the impossible. We are searching for change and empowering the individual. Lanford Wilson once said ” after they had explored all of the stars in the universe and all of the stars in the universe and all of the planets around each sun they realized they were alone, and they were glad, for they now realized that they would have to become all of the things they had hoped to find”.
I hope that I can be a beautiful example of all the things I hope to find.
This is our mission to the moon.
