In just over 2 weeks I will be sitting on the plane waiting for takeoff from JFK. The last physical leg of my journey to Jerusalem will have finally come. I will have said goodbye to my family, seen plots of farmland from the sky, listened to the quiet hum of the engine, and felt excitement seep through my veins as I come closer to the Holy Land. I'll be tired and nervous, but definitely not afraid to finally realize my lifelong dream. As I head east to a land where tension is high and and tradition reigns, I prepare myself to look for peace. I know it exists (although many disagree) and I know I will find it. This blog will become a place where I can document those discoveries. I will find peace in the eyes of little children, in kindness from strangers, in an innocent smile, in quiet acts of service. Although dark clouds are gathering on the horizon, there is still light, hope, and peace and I am determined to share what I find in hopes of spreading that light.
