I'm so excited. I'm about to pack (which is an engineering problem in itself) and am super excited, so much that I'm probably so scattered today. I awoke at 5:30 this morning and have been running to and fro ever since running errands, picking up some last minute stuff, getting a haircut (per EMI's requirement for Costa Rican interns), and now to the gathering of my belongings as soon as I finish with this post. But tomorrow, I fly out and land in Denver at 2:40 mountain time tomorrow and I'll stay the night in a Hostel, get picked up in the morning and driven down to the Springs by another intern by about 4 pm Saturday. That's when orientation begins. I have no specifics, but anyone who's been through orientation, I imagine I'll expect pretty typical orientation things - TCB, intro Bible Study, briefings on culture, workplace, and life, and a whole lot of team building games. Fun stuff.
I'm also probably a little nervous - excitement and nervous seem to run on similar lines. I'm staying in a downtown Hostel overnight and real world may hit me hard - being totally momentarily alone, with no prior knowledge of anyone I'm staying with. There's a lot of unknown wrapped up in that, so It is legitimately nerve racking for me. But I also know that I could be totally fine in this environment. The key is knowing the presence of God with me at all times and living by this at all times, so you all can pray for me to walk in the knowledge of God's presence all the time. Living by the Spirit will bring great power to thrive in situations where I am out there with no normal spiritual comforts such as family and friends.
Well I think that's all for today. Go time is tomorrow, and I'm ready for it. Jesus comes with me like a lion, and will guard my heart and my mind against all evil. Pray this over me. God bless and I love yall
Brad
