Travel x 3

I've never been off this continent.  I've been all over the continental US, although perhaps not Texas.  I've been to Canada a number of times and once in Mexico.

Within the next 8 months I will have been to China, Bulgaria and Germany (Layover in Frankfort).  Beijing and Changchun, China.  Sofia and Tran, Bulgaria.  I'm suddenly on track to have been a world traveler before Halloween.

Freaks me out a little bit.

Am I nuts or what?!?

I've been accepted on both teams.  Which means I have to go to Bulgaria AND China this year.  I keep hearing the blood pumping through my ears.  What have I gotten myself into???

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.  Seriously.  If I manage to accomplish this, it will only be through the work of the Spirit in me.  The three-in-one making me more than I could be without Father/Son/Spirit.

OMG.  Literally.

Twofer craziness

So yesterday while I was waiting for my interview with representatives of the Missions Committee, a man was chatting with me while he was figuring out where he was supposed to be.  Casually he mentioned that I should be going on the trip that he and his wife were leading.  Shortly after that, I found myself asking the Missions Pastor if it would be possible for me to apply for two trips.  He thought it was possible.  So sometime tomorrow I should find out if I will be going overseas not just once but twice in the next eight months!!!  The first time I've ever been abroad.  Not bad for a middle-aged chick, eh?

Desert island musicians

Yes, I should be working with my whole brain, but I've been really enjoying Spotify and I came up with the three musicians I would want access to if I were on a desert island.  Or if I got to pick who would accompany me in space.
#1 - Fernando Ortega
#2 - Harry Connick Jr
#3 - Brad Paisley
If there was room for one more I'd probably pick Sara Groves. 

Or Craig Morgan.  It'd be handy to have a hunter along.
