So tonight when I got home from my softball games/Tyler's house I decided I needed to reflect upon my Summer in Italy!!! I miss Europe dearly and I need to re-live that experience as often as possible.
Needless to say I ran across an entry from 7-25-2009 that caught my eye. For those of you who don't know much about my trip at this time I was free traveling Europe by myself. On this particular entry I found myself in Interlaken Switzerland on a park bench looking up at the Swiss Alps some of which were still snow capped others covered in Summer flowers. The part of the entry that caught my eye was:
"Here I sit again on my bench looking at the same mountain I gazed upon this morning, but I've changed. There's been a change in me. An experience not many 21 year old American girls can say they've had. I took a chance, I jumped, I conquered, but I couldn't have done this alone...Dave was holding me, guiding me the entire time. In life I've got to learn to jump, but never alone...God is always there to hold me and guide me making sure I have a safe landing."
The above analogy is referring to my tandem jumper "Dave" after I had jumped out of an airplane at 15,000 feet. This all stands true today: Each day I must decide to jump and take chances. I cannot live in a bubble, but I must shoot for my dreams. If I get hurt or disappointed its ok because God is always there to catch me. I'm really glad I ran across this entry and I can't wait to read more of my journal entries and compare them to my current life.
