I’m not sure what is even going through my mind. Honestly at times I feel like nothing. Maybe because I am trying to be present with the Today and I am busy checking things off my to-do list before leaving.
Don’t get me wrong I am so excited to go on this trip. I feel so ready and I know 100% this is where I am supposed to be. This is where God is calling me to be.
But I haven’t gotten sad yet or the nerves haven’t set in like one might expect. I talked about it with my family and friends and they continue to remind me that maybe it’s because I know this is exactly what I am meant to do. I have been longing to do something like this forever and this amazing experience God led me to is finally here. I have left my family and friends, I have spent holidays away, I have missed big moments so maybe this is a feeling I am familiar with. (It hasn’t been easy and won’t this coming year but everything will be ok)
I have had sweet moments with so many people and saying goodbye was sad but interesting for both parties since it doesn’t seem real. I have had people come visit and send me off with well wishes which has been amazing but even with my house flooded with people, I had to keep reminding myself that “they are here because I’m leaving, because i have planned for this for over a year and they have been supporting me in this journey and will continue to do so.”
It is such a weird feeling to sit here and think this is my LAST day home before leaving for 11 months! Before reuniting with my awesome Squad, Before I step foot in 4 other countries, Before my eyes are opened, Before God does something HUGE in my life and others.. I literally cannot even Fathom it.
What does one even do on the last day? (Get my last shot, go to the bank, finish packing, make copies of my documents, get sushi with my sisters, spend time with family and friends, double check my packing list- Incase you were actually wondering)
Guuyyyyssss I cannot believe the day is finally here! Thank you so much for being here for me, believing in me, excited for me, encouraging me, supporting me! I could not be here today without you all!
God, I am so ready for you to do big things! For you to radically transform me!
