A care in the world

I’m not concerned with what could have been

I care about what will be

I’m not concerned with what I’ve done

I care about what I’m doing

I’m not concerned with who you think I am

I care about who I am

I’m not concerned with people

I care about people

I’m not concerned with our nations future

I care about the kingdom of God

I’m not concerned about falling in love

I care about loving the fallen.

24 Days Later

24 Days till departure. In truth, that marks the date of the departure that encouraged starting this blog in the first place. June 1st is the day I leave for a 7 week vagabonding adventure to South Africa. I've not been much for countdowns as I feel it spoils the excitement of the grand departure, but today I could not resist.
This day represents a spit in the face of common social belief. June 1 represents a new level of audacious decision making that my life has never known. This wonderful day represents so much more than a "trip". It is a change in who I am. It reminds me that despite familial discouragement, despite financial limitations, and despite no experience in independent travel (or any travel for that length of time), that in 25 days (one day of travel) I will be standing on the African continent with no forced agenda or objective. That, my friends, makes me smile.
