Soo.. it's just about midnight in lovely California. I'm lying in my comfy, cozy bed.snuggling with my clean fluffy pup. I have 5 pillows and two blankets and about 150 square feet that I call my own. As I'm lying here, I can't help but do what I have been doing just about every night for the last several months.. and that is count down the days until my world race launch date. I realize that I have 23 days left at home, in my o
wn big bed. and in the presence of all that I know to be comforting. I begin to think about how small of a number 23 actually is. I am 23 years old. (some would say that I am still just a baby) I can count to twenty three in only 3.5 seconds (yes i timed it), twenty three days is just about three weeks away. and 3 is an even smaller number
than 23. I begin to think about all the things that I have to do in 23 days..
this triggers a thought.
this thought makes 23 sound like an enormous number.
here.. I made a list so that you would believe me..
23 THINGS THAT I WILL BE LEAVING BEHIND:
1. my family (immediate, extended,new baby, gatherings, pictures, movie nights)
2. my church (worship team, fellowship, family in itself)3. my friends
4. my pup (corey dean)
6. my car(long drives, rockin out to celine, karaoke on the go)
9. my hair altogether..
10. my full length mirror (don't judge me..)
11. my iphone
12. delicious tap water
13. girls night (my seh-sters)
14. toilets (this might need to be higher on the list..)
15. high heels/fancy clothes
16. my big lazy couch
17. my insomnia (this I might be ok with..)
18. the comfort of having a dresser
19. brand new socks 🙁
20. starbucks
21. Assyrians (ok ok.. I might miss seeing you guys everywhere..)
23. privacy.
yes, yes.. I KNOW I AM CRAZY..
YIKES!, huh? yeah, I know a few things on this list may seem insane/ a bit impossible to live without. but I can honestly say that I am looking forward to it. I am more than excited to experience life in such a simple form. with as little distractions from what the LORD is calling me to do as possible.
Jesus + me + loving His children daily
as all of these thoughts run through my mind, I'm imagining what all of these countries that I am about to experience will be like. how people eat, sleep, and live their daily lives. I am realizing
YEE!
words cannot begin to express the excitement that my soul is experiencing just thinking about this journey that Christ has called me to! Please continue to be in prayer for our countries and for the people that we will be loving on! you can also continue to pray for me (it would be greatly appreciated!) and for the crazy battlefield I'm about to enter!
Thanks again for all of your love and support.. I am truly blessed 🙂
