seekingmygreaterperhaps

This spring, I will be backpacking, or train-riding, around Europe. I will be going by myself for the most part. This is terrifying to me, but at the same time, I know it is right. Why would I do this if I’m uncomfortable and scared? Well, my dears, life is not about being comfortable. I know that God will take care of me, and in my heart I have peace with that.

I am an easily inspired person. During high school I read a book that made me laugh, cry, and more importantly, think. Looking for Alaska by John Green includes a character who loves last words. One of the sets of words that stuck with not only the character, but me, is “I go to seek a Great Perhaps.” This small quote packs a whole lot of meaning. Everyone can interpret it differently. However, this is mine, and thus the title for this blog.

I am going to seek something bigger and better, and I’m hoping to grow and find myself along the way.

Throughout this journey, I will visit some friends I’ve made from camp and other places along the way. I will see historic cities, and new sites. The planning process is weary, and I know that I’ll probably blow my entire life savings, but it will be so worth it.

I have a lot of pressure to stay in school and finish out a semester at university, because Europe will always be there. But this particular time of my life will not. I fell in love with traveling and Europe when I studied abroad in Spain, and that love has formed kind of an unbreakable bond. This whole trip is a dream come true. With my God, nothing is impossible.

So follow me on this journey, will ya?
