The last few weeks we've been asked quite a few times if we're excited about going to the Philippines. The answer to the question is YES! We've gone on and on about how it will be.
a great experience
a new adventure
an amazing opportunity for our family
I had built up a picture in my head that was so dreamy. Swirly twirly gumdrop dreamy.
A few days ago we got a schedule with a run down of the first few weeks we are in country from our coworker. Overwhelming. Almost every day in Manila is filled with Jason getting paperwork done and licenses renewed. Once we are on Palawan the task begins to get to get Jason flying, checked out on the airstrips, program details passed on.
All of the sudden reality came a knockin. Hello dreamer. Bubble burst. We're going to work. We're not going to play. Although we should be able to get some playing in too, that's not the reason we've crossed the globe. If I was going to cross the globe for the fun of it, I probably would have traveled East instead of West. Hello Paris.
Not much time to adjust this time around. Just enough time to learn enough to move onto the next thing. And to shop. Mostly for what we need. Maybe it's good that there isn't much time to sit and think about what we're doing. At least for now.
Maybe it is why God tells us to stay in today because tomorrow has enough worries of its own.
So I've decided not to look at that darn schedule again. Just take it day by day. And remind myself that it's a great experience, a new adventure and an amazing opportunity for our family.
Today.
