Taking Risks

I ought to be finishing up my chores before work. The rain is pelting the asphalt outside at a speed comparible to the rain falling while Noah was in his ark. Yet I must write because I'm taking a risk and just read an article on risks. Here's a couple key points on risks.

• Find cheap ways to fail
• If taking a risk, take it by doing something you enjoy
• Be sure your risk is in line with God's word

In less than two weeks I board a plane alone and head to Charleston. I've wanted to head there since 2003. As a single woman with all married friends, I decided to take the trip solo instead of waiting for someone to join me. For me it was a risk. Sometimes I wish I wasn't going and other times I just can't wait to head there and be on my own. 

As I plan this trip for myself and contemplate the still unknown outcome, I can't help but be filled with a little bit of dread and whole lot of excitement. For me just booking the ticket was a major step in embracing my singleness.
