Step One...no commitments...yet...

Posted by Lisa Laree to Beer Lahai Roi.

If you're contemplating a once-in-a-lifetime adventure,  start with the simple steps.

Go to the post office and get your passport renewed.

It doesn't obligate you...yet...

And you know time's running out; you might not make the deadline once all the discussions are completed and the finances laid out and all lights turn green.

But you might.

So you do the simple step.

And then know you've got to commit within a week if you're going to do it.

Because you really, really want to do it.

But it scares you a little.

Ok, a lot.

It's just that there's all those stupid niggling health issues...what if one of them (or more) decides to blow up at the worst possible moment on the other side of the globe?

And you know you don't fly well.

But you also know if you don't at least try you'll be disappointed in yourself.

So find the just-expired passport. Fill out the paperwork. Get the photo.  Pay the fee.  Send it in.

And trust that if God means for you to do it, there will still be a space available once all agree on 'go'.  And He's got all that health stuff covered.  And if it's a bad idea...well, the deadline will pass and that will be that.

And...truth...that's better than my drivers' license photo...
