Overjoyed

Three months from today I will be on a plane to Amman. I go through periods where I'm so excited for the next year of life that I can hardly breathe. I also go through days or weeks where I kind of forget what's ahead or I feel overwhelmed.

But this is one of the days where I am overwhelmed with joy!
Joy!
Joy!
Joy!
Overflowing.

Today Becky found out that she'll be spending the next two years of life in Benin with PeaceCorps so I think I've been going through a whole new round of emotion and excitement with her and for her.

But the idea of living in community and solidarity with such beautiful people. Of participating in reconciliation. Of learning from a rich culture.
It all seems to good to be true today. I am a steward of such immense privilege. Ah! So, so lucky.
