How can it be possible

How can it be possible
That a year of planning has passed
The ideas and vague discussions
Have become reality at last

How can it be possible
That I'm making this huge journey
Spending ten days across the globe
And not with my wonderful family

It can, of course, be possible
Because on God I completely rely
I trust His will and protection
It gives me the faith to try

I also know that by doing this
We will gain so much in ourselves
And when it's done, we'll all look back
And wonder what was with all the fuss
