We are suppose to be somewhere between Zurich and Nairobi right about now. Flying around 550 mph to go learn a new way of life and hopefully make some kind of difference while we are doing it. I prayed during this week of orientation at this year, God would bless David and I with His Way. I was not pleased (and did not feel very blessed) when His Way was apparently canceling our flight Monday and rescheduling us for Saturday! Another week at Stoney Point???? With NO ONE THERE???? Pass.
As Monday slide by and our plane did not magically uncancel as we all prayed it would, we got word that another YAV's father generously set us up to have a week in Princeton; staying at the seminary housing for free. OK we reasoned, we could be a train ride away from NYC and Philly... better than just a small gas station. Monday night we were on our way after a tearful goodbye to Rebekah and Lydia (whose plane also got canceled and rescheduled for Wednesday).
This is how I find myself at beautiful Princeton. I took a run around campus today and was asounded by the campus's beauty. What a lovely hiatus from the stress of this year so far. OK... not bad God.
