The one question as my time here in the states draws to end is “Are you excited?” And the answer is OF COURSE! Of course I am excited to travel the world and go on an adventure with Jesus. I am excited to see what this year holds. And if that was the only emotion I am feeling, it would awesome. However, that is not the case. The nerves have definitely kicked in. The unknown is so close and all I can do is just embrace it with open arms. I don’t want dwell on these nervous feelings because that gets me no where but I can assure you they are there. There has also been goodbyes and see you laters and some tears. I feel like after moving 9 times that I would be a champ at goodbyes but ya…nope. They are still hard but they are still worth it. The way I’ve looked at it is that if the goodbye was easy then was the relationship as good as it could have been? Yes, some goodbyes are just see you laters which helps, but some goodbyes are maybe see you later or maybe see you nevers. But each goodbye is associated with memories and life lessons that I wouldn’t trade for anything. So all of that to say there is some sadness with leaving as well. Then there’s all these emotions that I have no idea what they are. You know in Taylor Swift’s song the line that say “We’re happy, free, confused, and lonely at the same time. It’s miserable and magical oh yeah” You could say I’m feeling 22. But the overall strongest emotion is excitement for sure.
Today, I also packed up everything and IT FITS! I had my doubts but magically everything that I think I need fits into 2 back packs. Without a doubt I over packed. It weighs wayyyy more than I thought it would. There is no question in my mind that I brought too much stuff. But I didn’t pack anything that I am attached to so I’ll just drop stuff along the way.
I fly out of Arizona Friday and will be in Atlanta for launch this weekend! I want to say thank you for everyone who has supported me up until this point. It means the world to me that you have prayed for me, financially supported me, laughed with me and cried with me. I will try to keep this blog updated because I feel that it is important that y’all take this journey with me.
Love you all!
