Lately I have been finding myself going through a myriad of emotions. As I told you in my first blog I didn’t want to go on the race at first but, now I am finding myself getting more and more excited about it. One factor that has contributed to this are reading blogs and watching videos like the ones above.
After watching those videos it’s hard not to get excited about what God is going to do. I do, however, find myself already becoming sad about leaving my family and friends. I am going to miss a lot in their lives in 11 months.
Something I have discovered about myself over the last year or so is that I have a hard time living in the moment and not worrying about the future. As children we are programmed to think about what is coming next. You reach high school and you have to make decisions about what college to go to. Then you have to pick a major and decide what to do for the rest of your life. After you graduate and think you are done with figuring out your future you have to find a job, get married, then start a family, and start planning their future.
Right now I find myself already worrying about how hard it is going to be to leave in July and what I am going to do when I get back. I can’t let this become a habit. God has a plan and I need to remind myself that everyday.
