This morning I stepped into my home church and was treated like a star because of my international travels and was even told I now have a "glow" about me I didn't have before. Now I am about to share my photos with my brother, who is behind the times and doesn't have a Facebook. Thinking back to when I first heard Dr. Finitsis was thinking about this trip when I was in "Sex in the Bible", I thought that if I didn't try to apply for it, I was nuts. So I kept a weather eye out on the Wang Center website for the trip. When the application finally showed up, however, I started getting nervous. My previous travels to Japan began with horrible jet lag and home sick ness, and I thought to myself, "Do I REALLY want to risk this again? No matter how much I want to go to Greece, is it REALLY worth it?" I applied, knowing that I had to take more risks in my life, also thinking to myself, "There's a chance it's not meant to be. At least I applied!" Then I got accepted. My first thought upon recieving my acceptance e-mail was, "Hmmm, welll, guess it was meant to be!" then from that moment on, I think I lived in a state of anticipation thinking, "Well, if my life can bring me here, who knows what can happen." Fairly good way to live your life, I think. Now that I am back, amd somewhat tired, but happy, I can safely think back and say, "How could I not think that was meant to be?" Greece is a country that has so much to offer, and I am a person that has a lot to offer the world. The way I see the world and experience it is completely unique, same as everyone else's world view. So why shouldn't I get out there and put myself into the ether to share myself with the world? Who knows what can happen and what I could experience by doing it?
