The last four days of my life have been crazy. Absolutely incredible, exciting, and kind of weird. I have loved every second.

 

I spent the weekend in Nacogdoches. Saying my first round of Goodbyes before I leave on the World Race… Weird! Naturally it went by too quickly. Loaded with laughter, tears, good food, great friends and a lot of weird emotions. Before I knew it, I was on my way to see my best friend, Ruth, who just got home from the World Race. It was a beautiful moment when we got to wrap our arms around each other and reminisce – picking up right where we left off 11 months ago. You know, talking about boys, feelings, memories from the past, and excitement about the future. I then drove back to spring to meet up with some friends who recently got married and are about to move to Dallas. It was an incredible time to spend together just talking and catching up.
 

 

To be honest, I have spent so much time with people – processing my emotions, that I now have absolutely no more words for this blog at the moment. I know, that’s weird for me. But I can tell you that my excitement is amplifying. I am in no way rushing the next month and a half. I feel as though I need and want this time before I leave. 

 

These times are exciting. I know it’s going to go by fast, so I’m just soaking it all in.

 

I’m not exactly sure what next year holds, but I know it will be amazing. I’m ready to be a part of something that is bigger than me. It’s humbling knowing that the Lord wants to use me. I’m so imperfect and weak, but in our weakness He is strong. What an overwhelmingly beautiful thing. 

 

I’m so grateful. 

So humbled. 

So blessed. 

So excited.

 

I can’t believe this is real life. 

Somebody pinch me!
