Travels--Physical and Emotional


I realized the other day that I have spent way too much money on travelling this year--yes, it's been worth it to see my friends and some cool places--but all my spending has resulted in multiple "mini-financial mental breakdowns" in the last few weeks. Yikes. So far in 2010, I have been to Colorado, Ohio (twice), New Orleans, Ireland, Arizona, and Austin. Phew!

So, while I continue to pay off some credit card debt (not entirely due to my travels--thanks in part to the US government, my Step 3 board exam, and some less-than-awesome hospital bills), I have instead decided to take an emotional and spiritual journey, rather than a geographic one.

Instead of being in an airplane, I will be in awe.
Instead of being a foreigner, I will be forgiven.
Instead of buying gas, I will receive grace.
Instead of speaking another language, I will speak the truth, honestly and lovingly.
Instead of putting on a seatbelt, I will put on the armor of God.
Instead of seeking out a new country, I will seek healing and hope.
Instead of turning a corner, I will turn to God.
