It is 7:20am in San Francisco. I have been awake for 3 hours, just staring at the springs of the top bunk bed. For someone who already wakes up outrageously early, the 2 hour California time change is no good. So now I have to figure out how to keep myself entertained until 9:30 when church starts.
My send off party on Friday night rocked my socks off. Thank you to anyone who made it out there. I love you all and cannot even express how much it meant to me to have so many friends and family building me up in prayer. Some amazing words of the Lord were spoken over me and have given that extra ounce of courage I needed to step out into this new life. I'm sitting in a hostel in San Francisco and it still has not set in what I'm about to do. Granted it's only six months, but this really is the "first day of the rest of my life", as it were.
After church, I'm going to wander around the city and see the sights. I already love this city. The weather is perfect. I was hoping I would get a taste of fall before I head back into summer. I feel like I'm cheating though. I feel like I should have to wait for the "fall" weather of Austin, TX (i.e. NOT blistering hot) like everyone else. All I had to do was hop on a plane and I step off to be greeted by 62 degree weather. It's wonderful nonetheless.
In other news, if any of you have tried to post comments on any of my blogs but have been unable to because you don't have a google account, you should be able to now. I have fixed the problem and now anyone should be able to post a reply. I would love to hear from you as I begin to share what is going on in my adventure! It's always encouraging.
Well, the next time I post probably won't be until I'm in Australia! So, pray for safe travel. Pray my bags won't get lost (I'm particularly paranoid about this), pray I won't have to climb any more stairs with my suitcase (a whopping 85 lbs), and pray I don't get too sick on the plane.
Until then!
