It’s 3 am and I’m still awake.
Today is the first day of the World Race.
SERIOUSLY!? I am freaking out right now.
I leave my house for the next 11 months in less than 2 hours. My flight leaves at 7am. I will then meet up with the amazing J Squad in CHICAGO!! We will spend a couple of days together and then LAUNCH to the Domincan Republic! Yes! It’s really happening. I’ve been waiting for this moment for so long. Enough talking about it. Enough blog stalking world racers/world race alumni. Enough daydreaming about the day when I will finally leave. My time has come and I am simply amazed how God lead me here.I’m a nervous wreck to be quite honest. If I wasn’t, I would probably be sleeping soundly in my super comfy bed. I’m overwhelmed with every kind of emotion you can think of. I am giddy. I’m really not looking forward to walking away from my parents. I’m afraid I won’t be able to contain my tears even as I board the plane. Luckily 3 of my squadmates will be with me. 🙂 I know I keep re-iterating this in my blogs but I’ve been eagerly anticipating this day for nearly 5 years. I’m actually leaving. This is real. It’s GO time baby. Yep, I can really say it. I’m a World Racer.
AHH!!!
I am incredibly grateful for each of you who have prayed over me, encouraged me, and helped me financially in preparation for this trip. Your generous gifts and kind words have blessed me beyond measure and I THANK YOU! 🙂
I would like to send a special shout out to my dear friends Jennifer and Nicki who listened to me talk about the World Race all throughout our college years. Thanks for listening and thanks for helping me realize that I finally needed to APPLY and just GO! Your encouragement has been incredibly valuable to me and I love you both!
