New York City Here I Come

Though I am exceedingly under prepared, I will be departing on Tuesday for a nine day stint in New York City. I am excited, nervous, giddy, anxious, and eager. My colleague, Annie, and I will be attending some sort of arts convention for the first five days. I have a feeling we won’t attend every single portion of the convention, but that should be an experience in and of itself. Being around artsy people from all over the country in a place like New York City should equip me with many tales for those of you who would like to hear them upon my return.

I have received so much advice on where to go from so many people that if I stayed there for nine months rather than nine days, I couldn’t possibly see it all. My goal is to see as much of it as I can, and not fret about what there isn’t time to see. On our free days, our goal is to do touristy things while taking opportunities to speak to people about God. My traveling companion is a very spiritually mature person. Though she is my junior by several years, in many ways I look up to her spiritually. I hope that she and I will be able to inspire one another to achieve our spiritual goals on this journey.

Please pray for our well-being on this expedition. I am sure I will have many pictures and stories to share when I get back.
