The Island of the Sleeping Lady

The island of Kosrae is nicknamed "The Island of the Sleeping Lady" because of the mountain ranges forming the shape of a supine women when looking at it from the ground.

I envy this sleeping lady, because my body awoke me up at 3:15 AM ready for the day.  We are 18 hours time difference here, and it is confusing my body clock.

Or perhaps it is the anxiety and excitement and nervousness, because in 30 minutes we are driving to the airport with all our things to get on our final flight to Kosrae.  We have been told that there may or may not be someone there to meet us on the island, and if not we can try and hop a cab to find the school.

I suppose this is the part where we take all our anxiety and worry and surrender them to the spirit of adventure and God's hand.  This is must be what real trust feels like, because I realize I am not very good at it yet.

In his service,
River Davis
