I Wonder

In less than a week, I will begin a journey of discovery in the Lao People’s Democratic Republic, as I begin a term with Mennonite Central Committee.

I Wonder . . .

Who will interpret the shifting winds as they blow through the city and predict what weather lies ahead?
Who will name the creepy crawlies and inform me which ones will cause harm?
Who will introduce me to the local flora, giving names and characteristics to the unfamiliar?
Who will guide me through the market, acquainting me with new fruits and veggies and helping me decipher how to determine when they are at their tastiest?
Who will identify the unfamiliar scents in the air and introduce me to new aromas?

Who will walk with me on this journey of discovery?

Safe journey into the unknown yet somehow familiar. May you find old friends in new faces and feel God's presence as close as your breath, saying "Wendy, fear not. spread your wings on this wind and follow it to new heights." Find 'you' and find 'ME'.
We, you readers will walk silently with you in your discoveries.
