Explaining the Title

So, sometimes I try to be creative. And it backfires on me. Hence, the confusing title. As of August 2010, I have been an invitee of the Peace Corps. I will be serving in Thailand for 27 months. Counting today, I have four more days in Carmel, Ind. From here, I will go to Philadelphia (City of Brotherly Love. Apt, isn't it?). I will have about a day of administrative things to deal with and then all of us Thailand-bound folk will head to NYC where we will go through JFK and on to BKK, Bangkok's airport. I have two months of training there before going onto my post where I will spend the next 24 months. I'm excited, of course, but I'm also realizing what a huge commitment this is. I can barely commit to a brand of shampoo. But, I have faith. Faith that the Peace Corps will give me sufficient training. Faith that the people of Thailand will be as friendly to me as they have been in the past. Faith that God wouldn't have kept this idea of joining the Peace Corps in my head for so long for no reason. And, most importantly, faith in myself that I am as prepared for this as I ever will be.
