I've arrived. In New Zealand, Auckland. Just one ferry ride away from the ultimate destination - Orama, Great Barrier Island.   
Now awaiting the ferry that will "bring me home", I don't know what to expect. 
Apprehensive and anxious, I feel like I'm preoccupied with those thoughts. 
Deep breathe and calm. That's what I need. If I could inhale the serene blue of the sky and feel it fill me up. I feel like that's what it must feel and how you can describe to a child what it's like to have God's peace beyond understanding. 
I want so much. Yet I want without discerning or specifying. Hmm. 
I feel all this pent up business inside of me. I need it somehow to vacate. I need to release it. I need to be free. 
To want and know not where to begin...
Questions questions questions 
Will I survive the cold? 
Will I make friends? 
Will I fit in? 
Am I ready for what God has in store?  
Will I meet someone? 
Thoughts thoughts thoughts 
I'm freezing 
I should have brought more spaghetti straps 
I miss home 
Is this too crazy?? Am I doing the right thing? 
Will I be able to write like I thought?  
Arrggggghhhhhhh.
