Well, it is officially my last day in America. I'm sitting here in the living room looking at my well-packed suitcase, and I just found something that I got on my Bellarmine Crossroads 2008! It's Thomas Merton's prayer...I feel as if it is something to reflect on my feelings right now:
"My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me.
I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think that I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing. I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire. And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road though I may know nothing about it. Therefore will I trust you always though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death. I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils alone."
So here I go...not knowing what lies ahead. I still cannot wrap my head around the fact that I am leaving in 36 hours for France...I'm just trying to stay as calm and normal as possible or I will epically freak out. So that's all I have to say about that for now. :)
