predetermined

my mother just brought me this jaggedy, blue bic pen drawing of a orange laden tree in a grassy field. on it, it says "I'd be a Floride orange tree, so I would always be warm and I'd give people vitamin C." on the back, Sarah, age 12, Dec 96.

well. i'm not an orange tree, but i am going somewhere warm to help people. quite the appropriate gift for my last day in the states...when doubts begin to surface and fear begins to rise.

i am ready for this.

Your adventure begins TODAY!

It will be awesome.
And you are ready.
And we will all be thinking of you.

(and I hope you are wearing your shirt)

p.s. I was given something from my past this weekend as well--a seventh grade group project. A cheesy poem. Entitled "A Trip to the Mall." I couldn't stop laughing.

Wow. I completely love that post- it doesnt supprise me at all that you had so much love coming out of you at such an early age.

I bet Jesus had a big ole grin on his face when you were drawing that...
