121 hot showers left to go and counting.  Today we received the call our post had accepted us.  We do not know where the post is, only somewhere in the South Pacific.  God’s timing is perfect and he teaches much in the waiting.  Last night we had dinner with someone who knows a lot about the peace corps and gained buckets of wisdom in the short time with him.  Our respect and admiration of former PCVs grew immensely from his stories and only increased our expectations of that to come.  With the excitement comes the reality that it is happening.  There’s always the small part of you that says this is all a dream and one day I will wake up and be normal.  Thankfully that part began a slow death today.  We are not normal nor is our God.  Life’s a vapor trail burn out bright.
