God chose this for me. I said YES! I knew this season would be uncomfortable but I certainly did not expect it to be this soon. I’m now realizing just how hard goodbyes are. Yes it’s nine months, and I realize that in perspective to most of our lives that it’s not long at all. But boy oh boy does it seem like a long time going into it. I have never been out of the country, let alone been away from my parents longer than a few weeks. I have felt more emotions this past week than I think I have felt in a lifetime. I’ve cried every single time I’ve attempted to pack and throughout almost each note I have written. I don’t know if I’m handling my goodbyes in the best way, but I do know that I am trying my best. And my best is feeling every moment. Throughout all of this uncomfort, I have not doubted this race. My excitement far surpasses my sadness! I’m ready! I leave Arkansas on Tuesday for a roadtrip with my parents, and we have to be in Atlanta on the ninth for launch. Please continue to pray with me!
