"End? No the Journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path; one that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass. And then you see it!"
"What, Gandalf? See what?"
"White shores. And beyond, a far green country, under a swift sunrise!"
Sounds like such a beautiful place. I can't wait to see you there.
As many of you know, the big move to St. Louis (STL) is very quickly approaching. It is just two days until we begin the big drive. This time of transition is very strange to me. A part of me is apprehensive: changing to a new environment is not really my forte. Another part of me is ready for school to start again - I like the structure a daily routine provides. With the exception of my abroad travels, this will be the farthest I've been from home without friends or family. But really, it feels more surreal than anything else. I'm not really consciously scared or worried, but it doesn't seem like it's really happening (except for the large pile of stuff that has accumulated in our kitchen).
As I get settled and into the swing of things at grad school, I hope to keep you all updated on my adventures and epiphanies through this blog - so keep checking back for updates!
"I thank my God every time I remember you." - Philippians 1:3
Random thought of the day: I love how this phrase (or a variation of this phrase) comes up in so many of the "little letters" in the NT...repetition is a way of demonstrating importance, and as someone who has used this phrase many a time, I appreciate that.
