A traveler's letter home

KAREN ARNOLD

Dear Mom and Dad,

Because we're separated by oceans and half a world, it must be difficult for you to feel assured of my safety. Probably in your mind's eye you see me as a lone girl getting in and out of trouble around the world. Yet if I saw myself as merely an adventurous mortal determined to prove her independence, I would have had to give up my venture long ago.

Let's face it—traveling alone is challenging. The challenge, however, is much more than just finding transportation or inexpensive lodgings. For me, at least, the real test has been to overcome the temptation to believe that God's man is a mortal personality, even an independent or adventurous one.
