We are launching from CHICAGO on September 5 – I am so excited. I get little butterflies in my stomach when I start to think about the actual "launch". It's so easy to get distracted here in Atlanta – my to-do list is a little "craycray":
1. move out of apartment
2. pay traffic tickets (whoops)
3. renew license
4. end utilities
5. tie up loose ends at work (goodbye, GPB Media!)
6. get those darn rabies shots (really? through the stomach??)
7. fundraise, a lot (yikes)
8. meet with a million friends and family members before departure (easier said than done)
9. jury duty (no me gusta)
10. there's more – just can't remember 🙂
But now that launch is announced, this wonderful, dreamlike journey has become a reality. This is happening. I am dropping everything I know and love to follow God's plan for me. It's scary; it's daunting; but it's right. I know God will watch over me and my team as we step into the unknown. Spiritual warfare, poisonous snakes and rabid dogs got nothing on us!
So here's a picture of my AWESOME team: Kingdom Unleashed. I love our name for two reasons: one, because it is exactly what we'll be doing – unleashing the Kingdom throughout all the nations, and two, it sounds like a sick metal band name (yes, you may judge me).

Team Leader, Travis, LaShondra, me, Shari, Stephanie, Hayden, Jake
I have a lot of other thoughts, but should probably get back to work. I want to thank everyone who has supported my trip thus far. Whether it be through prayer or financially – you ROCK! Now here's a little jam for you (heavily inspired by our launch locale, obviously).
Enjoy, my friends.
