It's another day. I'm up early this morning. Nothing unusual about that. But then, I look out to my right at the sunrise. Over the city of Mendoza. In the middle of the desert. To my left I see the volcanic ash is beginning to clear and I can see the foothills of the Andes once again.
Did I really just say that? Did I really just see that?
We've been in Argentina now for three weeks, the longest I've ever been away from "home". I'm still the same girl...My head is full of happy endings. I'm completely involved in the story of the nesting pigeons inside the window gate of the apartment building across the way. I'm still upset with ESPN about their treatment of Auburn last season. I've found nice stores to "browse" through, tomorrow I'm going to the mall with some friends. I've found a brand of South American chocolate that I like. Yet...
I'm forever changed by this adventure. And that's what it is. An adventure...
It's not just the distance. Or the different time zone. Or the language.
It's the realization that the One who created me, knows me better than I know myself. He knows what I'm capable of. And He's my biggest Fan.
God's plan for me is bigger than I ever dreamed. And He's showing it to me one step at a time. And I'm doing it. One step at a time.
Me? I still miss my dogs. But I wouldn't miss this for anything...
