I am sitting at the couch, looking out the back door of my apartment for one of the last times before I leave. I have spent countless hours sitting in this very spot, looking out the back door at the porch, chatting with friends, watching t.v., reading books or studying for tests. For the past year Santa Barbara has been my home base, and for the past 4 months I have been living in this apartment. It hasn't been the best summer, and yet I am sill sad to leave this place. But excitement looms on the horizon...
On Thursday at 9PM I will embark on a journey with about 40 other Westmont students, as we travel and explore much of Europe with Dr. Pointer and Dr. Brothers. My preparations for the trip are almost complete, my bags are packed and I only have a few loose ends to tie up before I go. My feelings are a mixture of absolute excitement and undiluted fear. I cannot wait to experience all Europe has to offer, the sights, the sounds, the tastes. I am excited to learn in a new context. I am excited to travel with 5 of my best friends and 40 other close and new friends. I am scared to leave the only country I have ever lived in. I am scared to travel abroad. I am scared to leave my life here for four months, to put everything important to me down and hope I can pick it up when I come back. I am scared to leave my friends and family and the love of my life, Katie. Amid all of this fear and excitement, I know something amazing is happening. I have a unique experience to go places many people can only dream about. I have been truly blessed with this opportunity and I plan on making the most out of it. The Lord works in mysterious ways, but I am sure He will be present and active on this journey. I am excited to see how He will work in my life and through my life as I put myself in a completely new context. I will try to be as faithful as possible in updating this blog and keeping you all informed on my travels and experiences.
I am unsure what the internet situation in Europe will be, but I am sure there will be some internet cafes, and I will try to update at least once a week. But most importantly I am traveling to go new places, see new things, meet new people, and learn new things, not to blog. I will try and reflect as much of my travels and experiences as possible, so stay tuned...
Love and blessings,
Mikey
