There are moments in life when I wish I could go back.
Yes, I often ache to relive memories…but there is one in particular. And I want to go back so I can savor it a little more.
I wish I had known, at the time, the turning point in our lives that July 30, 2005, would mark. It was the day our Cathay Pacific flight touched down in Jakarta, and, for the first of many times, our weary feet met the soil of Indonesia.
Our feet were always weary at the end of that trip…30+ hours of cramped airplane space and crossing oceans will do that to just about anyone! 😉
We knew we were setting out on an adventure. Following a calling. That our lives were changing dramatically. All of that…plus more.
But I don’t think we understood just how much the two years we’d committed to, along with the extra three we signed up for later, would change us.
I’d like to go back now…to look at myself then versus now.
And maybe to also tell that 27-year-old girl it was all going to be okay…more than okay, because her Father had great plans in spite of the inadequacy she felt.
Today I’m over at God-sized Dreams, sharing more of my Indonesia story. Will you join me?
