i don't even read blogs. what do i blog about?

i made it to Istanbul in one piece, but i didn't want to blog about my plane ride, so I'll share an email that i received entitled "well wishes" (I Love You, Mama)

Good Morning,

There is no telling when you'll probably read this e-mail. Just wanting to wish you well as you go forth in this wonderful endeavor of studying abroad. I am so very proud of you.... I'm so very proud of the way that you set goals for yourself and you don't quit until you reach them. From the very early age of Three I knew you were different. I didn't know what all God had in store for you, but I knew that there would be great things. You know the cliche that says "the Sky is the Limit " it doesn't quite fit the bill, because of who you are in God there are no limitations for you. Just remember to always keep God first in everything, pray before every decision, pray really about everything and listen to God's instructions, then move. (Just looking back over all the obstacles that were in your way and you still made it....) Wow, what an awesome Man of God you are.... Always remember to remain humble because God exhalts the humble and brings down those that are prideful. In whatever, you do always do as unto the Lord. He has given you gifts and talents and always use them to bring God Glory. No matter have far you are away from me in this world you are forever in my heart. I love you always. Allow me to see Turkey through your eyes. So, I want lots of pictures.

I pray that this trip is richly rewarding and exceeds all your expectations. For with God ALL Things Are Possible. Take this opportunity to reflect on the goodness of God and all that he has done for you. As the Muslims take time out of their day to pray, you also take the time to pray to the One and Only True Living God. Continue to keep your sisters and I lifted in prayer. Okay, I didn't mean to sound selfish, but the rest of your family as well. Have a blast, be alert of your surroundings, travel with a group, just use the Wisdom that you have. Okay, I quit (that's just my job as a Mom). Just think, your feet will be able to touch the soil that an Apostle of Christ touched. That is awesome.... Take the time to read about the Apostle Paul. He was such an awesome Man of God. Call me.....

Love You,

Your Mom
