I am sitting in Dulles airport, at the wrong gate with my computer plugged into the wall, getting a full charge before the stretch over the Atlantic. I am anxious to get to the right gate. However, I feel like it’s important to do an entry in my blog today, since I let friends know that I will be writing here, as best as I can.
Over the last couple of weeks, I have been watching the “worst possible outcomes” come and go through my mind, of the work in Palestine. What if I am not liked as an American? What if I am detained or kicked out? What if I am hurt? Of course, all my loved ones are saying I hope you are okay, which makes me worry even more. Funny how that works? I have appreciated all of our refocus on how well this trip will go. Especially in my own mind.
I find that I that my mind now drifts more to past successes that include elements of conflict issues that I hear that I will be facing on the West Bank. I have had a lot of successes over the years, and the words “Trust the Process!” reasonate through my mind. This will be a good trip, and will be successful in what ever means that are intended to yield success. I am ready for the journey.
Time to go to the right gate!
