Now that all, or most (hopefully), of the homesickness is out of my system I’m beyond ready to be in the Philippines. I’m ready for the conversations, the tears, the valleys/mountains, the laughter, the experiences & more. I am ready. No, I’m not scared & no I’m not nervous. For the most part, I feel at peace knowing that I am about to embark on a journey that will shape me for the better.
Do I miss home even though I left a week & a half ago? Absolutely. As I knew I would. (Funny, I never thought I’d call Idaho home again). I’m such a homebody, I don’t like to be away from the comfort of my own luxuries but then again, who does right? But I keep reminding myself that my dad, my friends, my car & everything else that I categorize as “home” will still be there when I get back. If they’re not there, it’s probably for the better.
So here we go! Tomorrow’s the big day! The countdown is now down to hours instead of months. I am so ready. On a quick personal note, I’ve been praying for the Lord to teach me to be present & listen. I have a feeling He’s going to break me down & remind me how wonderful He is. Here’s to the next 3 months!
