The days are counting down.
Honestly I dont know what I expect from this chapter to my life. Do my expectations include being pushed beyond the gossamer bubble I'm living in now..? Probably. As different surroundings often habit doing.
Will it be an adventure? Highly likely. Where who I am will find itself falling in love with the beauty of creation, as it always does. Such a safe thing to fall in love with...maybe thats why it's so easy to be completely captivated by it. Unhindered by the small red note in the back of my mind that forewarns of the possibility of pain, or no return. The effect of a fallen world I suppose...
I've found it difficult to listen to that note in the past...something I dont altogether regret, but it's so soothing when it's just not there to ignore.
The excitement to no longer just look at the mountains from the ridge on my way home from work, but to live in them, is building. Being surrounded by them, an attestant to the majesty of God. What an amazing reminder.
I wont be the only one there, so each of the others will undoubtedly play a part in this adventure as well. But their characters are yet undefined. So much to be written. Eager anticipation to the time when ink is finally committed to paper.
