Transition

I don't normally give a play-by-play of my events in life, but this one will be quite important in my life. This week I will be travelling to Mississippi, visiting a seminary that I have applied to. I have talked with representatives from the school and I am definitely looking forward to the trip. I will be able to meet professors and sit in classes. I will get a glimpse of what it will be like to sit in the community of exceptionally educated people and learn from them. We will be like-minded, but not narrowly-minded. Feeling the camaraderie will be a joyful, challenging experience.
However, what I anticipate the most is the opportunity to start afresh. I see the many trials behind me--trials have scarred me and, in some cases, I still bear open wounds--and I see ahead of me new challenges that will wage war on my spirit, my body, and my mind. Yet I am eager for this gauntlet. I know great things await me.
