Just a tiny update:
It is 2:38 am and I am currently sitting on my couch, a mess surrounding me, with tear-filled eyes & seemingly, a million things left to do. Lori Elyse & Rachel Helen just left me for the last time; I have only one goodbye left to say now (two, if you count my dog). My emotions come & go, none staying for too long, so it’s hard to pinpoint exactly what I am feeling.
I am mostly overwhelmed, but in all of the best ways. I am overwhelmed with the love & support I’ve received from a community I’ve only recently been blessed to know & with how insanely in love with them I am. I am overwhelmed with the love & encouragement that has come from friends who have been walking alongside me for years. I am overwhelmed with love for everyone I know, you all put stars in my eyes.
I am overwhelmed with the heaviness of & the beauty in God’s favor.
The fact that I leave today for an 11 month mission trip is surreal. I AM OVERWHELMED WITH EXCITEMENT! I can’t wait to tell you all about it. Thank you for walking with me to this point, with all intentions to keep moving. Thank you for blessing me with your prayers & with monetary support. I can honestly say, without it I wouldn’t be getting ready to board a flight to the other side of the world!
As of tomorrow, I will no longer have a cell phone so the best way to reach me is through this blog or my e-mail: [email protected]. Please send me e-mail updates on your lives, the beautiful moments & the sucky ones, too. I have this blog to tell you all about my adventures, so it’s only fair that I know of yours!
