Sara's Off to Europe



Sara left today for a backpacking trip across Europe. She really packed 5 1/2 weeks worth in a back pack and boarded a plane. She got off to a rocky start with a delayed flight. She only had a few minutes to catch a plane to Philadelphia that was headed to Dublin. I hope everything goes ok from there. We'll only be able to reach her via Skype and Facebook at places that have Wifi. I can't beleive she is half a world away....again. I miss her already. There is no holding her back. She is destined for great things. I think alot of us tried to talk "sense" into her and keep her from going, but sometimes I think she has more sense than all of us. Sara talks about being "led" to do certain things. I am starting to understand it tonight. It would be a lesson to all of us to start living our lives led by our heart instead of our minds. God knows where we are supposed to be and He speaks to those who listen. As a tribute to her while she is gone I am going to listen to my heart. I don't have any big decisions coming up but maybe it will work when I am with the kids or at work. How many times have I said I can't play right now because I am fixing dinner or folding laundry? What I would rather be doing is rolling in the floor with the kids. Be looking for Sara posts on facebook. Send her a message or two letting her know she is missed and hope she comes home safe after an awesome time.
