Four Weeks and Counting

Copenhagen. Just four more weeks now. This will probably be the longest four weeks of my life...maybe. I might be exaggerating. And I do not want the next four months to go by quickly! But I know they will. That is how life works. You wait for something for the longest time, then once it arrives, it is gone before you fully realize it arrives. But I am so excited for this adventure, no matter how quickly it passes before my eyes. I plan to enjoy every moment. Take in every scent, every scene, every passing lover and friend. I plan to wonder and amaze and store such memories for a gloomy day. I plan on passing my time with laughter and joy, not wasting a moment. I pray that I will make dear friends and will shine my Lord's light wherever my feet wander.

I will use this blog to inform those who care of my whereabouts. I will probably post ridiculous things. My emotions can be fickle, you can ignore those ones. Pray that I press in to God and his grace more and more while I am away. I do not want to come back the same person. Don't let me do such a thing! Why have such an adventure and not learn and grow from it? Don't be afraid of changes. (I post this sentence mostly for myself, no worries). The Rachel leaving for Copenhagen in four weeks from now will not be the same Rachel who return to the US in five months. It will be a grand adventure to be sure.
