My travel adventure…
I found myself lying in my bed
Thinking about the journey I am just about to take
A little nervous I was
Writing down all the scriptures
That talk about God as our provider and protector
I was encouraged by how long they list was
Praying once more through they journey
I fell asleep
Waking early in the morning cause I couldn’t sleep
Praying some more that all would work out
Finally, it was time
Saying a couple good byes to the one that were a wake
I left the base with another student
Walking down the steep slippery hill
We made it
I see the bus
Just in time
We started… here we go no turning back now
Still a little nervous about traveling on my own
But finding the peace of God with me
Know that in all things He will protect and provide for me
One hour later we arrived at the airport
Here I go
Feeling the speed of the plane pull me to my seat
Always my favorite part about flying
And take off
I am on my way
Getting lost in the book I took to occupy my travel time
I was landing before I knew it
Patiently waiting for the everyone around me to leave
So I could get my bags I walked to the train station
The train promptly arrived soon after I got down
Here I go
My first train ride
Still lost in my book
I didn’t pay to much attention to the sensory around me
But what I did see what kind of boring anyways
They city of the Olso was very pretty
Lots of older buildings on the way to the central station
Well here I am not at central station
Asking God to lead me
I felt so small
In this big station all alone
With only God strength to lean on
There was nothing I could to be remain strong and keep going
Walking around searching for the bus station
Oh, there finally found the way to go
Walking across the bridge
Passing a homeless man
They thinking about how much I have
I pondering the thought of being homeless
How it much feel to always be alone
No place to go home too
Or at least not a warm comfortable home
How grateful I am for all that I have
And that I was going to a warm place
Even though I didn’t know must of the people there
I knew it that it was a loving family
I continued walking where I found my way
Realizing my bus only leaves in a couple hours
I sat down and continued reading
It was a great way to pass by the time
I could see the bus around the corner
Getting ready to go outside
The door doesn’t open
Oh no all they people rush in front of me to the other door
Changing doors
Fef I am outside
People pile around
Pushing
Wanting to get a seat on the bus
Getting closer to the front
Still people squeezing past
I can see the stairs
I think I will get in
Finally, stepping up to pay for my ride
Seated comfortably in my seat
Ready for my two hour journey to the next plan ride
This time to Germany
Getting closer to where I need to go
Lining up to get my boarding pass
Taking a seat
Know I had a couple hours to wait
Starting reading again
Then realized I was in the wrong spot
Good thing I had lots of time
Going through to the international flights
Sit down again to wait once more
Check periodically for the gate that my flight was departing from
Sweet, gate 12
Only half an hour left
Then I am on my way
5 min. to boarding
everyone rushes to the line
but they weren’t as pushy this time
waiting
now getting a seat
yes, I can relax
almost there
take off
Germany here I come
Excitement starting to build
Rushing out to catch the bus to Mannheim
Oh no, they only take cash
Run, run, run need to quickly get cash
Run , run, run sweet he waited for me
Sitting down
Slowly starting to relax again
Two hours later
Mannheim
Yes, final part of my trip
Almost there
What a long day
Looking at the times
Sweet I have sometime to something to eat
Well… I guess not
Missed the first train, now I have to wait half an hour
Relax, eat, wait, read a little
Here it comes
And Here I am
Made it
Wasn’t too bad
Time for bed
