Well its almost here I leave for launch officially on Tuesday the 4th but unofficially I leave tomorrow Friday the 31st.
So with all that being said I thought I’d write something about how I’m feeling right now.
I’m a little overwhelmed; I still have a lot to do before then.
I need to pack up the rest of my stuff to get out of my room. If you didn’t know I’m moving out of my room at home. So when I get back I won’t have a room to live in. But it’s a good thing cause then I don’t have it in my mind while I’m on the Race.
I need to pack my bags for the world Race. I keep putting this off we today I have to do it cause well if I don’t well my bag is going to be really light on the race as in nothing in it. But I’m sure I will get it all done today.
I need to prepare myself for the trip to Texas this weekend. It is a trip to move my Granddad and his wife into an assisted retirement community. Though the part that I need to be ready for is that, this might just be the last time I see them ever. My granddad has started to decline quickly, he told my dad he could not write anymore. So I won’t be shocked if when I get back he is not around anymore, but that’s ok. I just have to keep a great attitude while I’m down there.
I have already said goodbye to my home church. I did that this past Sunday. I was a good time. When I got back from Training Camp (TC) I didn’t feel totally at home there. I have since realized cause my home church is my squad, not a building but the true community of believers I have found that God has brought together.
Tonight I will be having dinner with the small group that my family has been a part of since we moved to Monett, Mo. While I don’t feel a true since of community with them like I do with the squad. I know I will miss them and that they will be praying for me and following my journey.
This week I said goodbye to my old youth pastor. I had a falling out with him many years ago but on that day we knew that none of that mattered to God all that mattered was the present and the future form here. He was very supportive of what I was about to leave on and encouraged me a lot.
Well that’s what is going on before launch.
I can’t wait to be with everyone in a week.
