I am finally here in Salatiga. I arrived yesterday morning in Jogja at 3:30, after being on a train for 9 hours, and then took another 2 hours to drive from there to here, but just as the students were finishing their morning prayer here in Penuai, I pulled in to one of my favorite places. It is really surreal that I am here again, and I am so thankful to be. I greeted everyone, shocking some of the ones who didn't know I was coming, and unpacked my bags.
After a quick shower, I headed down into Salatiga to see all of the students at Destiny Inst. who didn't know that I was coming, and succeed in shocking the old students and meeting the new ones. I spent most of the day hanging out and re-connecting with people, and now I am on day two, and the plan is to go ahead and get settled in.
Honestly, I am a little bit overwhelmed, I still have a bit of time left before I begin school, which is good, because there are other things that I want to be doing here as well, but when you are looking at something that is bigger than you it can be troublesome as to where you should start. Actually doing the thing that you have been wishing you could do is kind of difficult. It is like an olympian who actually wins the gold medal. There is nothing in the world that can compare with the joy, but also the sheer magnitude of what you just did. What do they do with their time three months later? Still train? Not nearly as hard. Now that I am in Salatiga again, instead of Hawaii or Bandung, it is here, this is it, I have to get to work, I don't know how this is gonna turn out, but I guess it's time to take the plunge....can anyone tell me where the pool is? Confident and a bit confused, but I am not really worried. I guess the first step would be to pray, to get myself centered, and settled, and we can go from there. So, with that in mind, please keep me in your prayers. I'll update again later. All my love.
Me
