Eight days. I have 8 days left with my friends, family, dogs, my own bed, and so much more. There are so many emotions that have started to flood my heart as I prepare to leave. I have questioned my choices. I have started to feel nervous about leaving. Nervous wasn’t really an emotion that I felt up until a few days ago. However, I also really feel so much excitement and joy about leaving to go on this trip. As I walked into my house this afternoon I was greeted by my super excited dog. Not really thinking anything of it, because this seems to be an everyday thing when I get home, I played with him then went upstairs to my room and something clicked. This trip is so much more then helping others and allowing others to grow in their faith. This trip is allowing me, like my sweet little puppy, to run and greet someone I love so much. This trip is giving me the opportunity of a lifetime, letting me run to God in ways I never really have and I’m so extremely grateful for this. Even though I have gotten extremely nervous and scared about my trip I believe that It will be a life changer for me. I was called to do this trip, and I know it won’t be easy at times, but there are also going to be some life changing moments for me coming real soon!!
