My trip began with a surreal feeling. Even though I had known I would some day move to India for over 4 years, I could not believe the time had come. Was I prepared? No, I don't think that's possible. I was nervous about the unknown and still am. But I have realized that much of the nervousness stems from pride and not wanting to look stupid. I pray that God will give me the strength to embrace humility and make me more like Jesus in that way.
Somewhere along the way, my surreal feeling turned into gratitude. I am thankful that I get to have this experience. I appreciate the moden consciences on the airplanes (mostly all the entertainment choices). I am grateful the Fulbright representative was on time at the airport and easy to find. Our hotel is very comfortable with great Internet! A good night's sleep and a shower really refresh the soul. I'm also very thankful for my wonderful husband. It's a lot of fun going on an adventure with your best friend!
I know that this is a "honeymoon phase" and that reality will hit me like a ton of bricks, but I'm going to try and embrace each phase as it comes.
