Im not good with the water works.

I will be up and on the road in four hours. yuck.

Man, the Lord has blessed me with some crazy amazing people.

I don't know why, but these people like me, and Im so thankful for that!

This whole goodbye process has been kinda weird though.

Cause I know I am leaving, but its not forever. 

It's actually a pretty short amount of time. 

Yet at the same time, most of these people play huge roles in my life. 

There are people that I hold dear to my heart, that I would love to have by my side during this, but I know this will be an amazing time of growth and strengthening, so Im excited for that!

But enough of the mushy stuff for now.

Today, I packed. 

Yes, I waited until the day before. 

So my mom talked to this Lady at YWAM who told her that most of the girls that come bring two suit cases.

I automatically thought that I would be the cool girl that didn't bring two suitcases. 

You know, like the carefree, Im a nomad with only one bag, things don't tie me down, super chill, one suitcase girl.

Yeah, I was put in my place real fast.

It's amazing how much room things take up.

I mean this aint no one week trip.

5 months looks a little different in a suitcase. well, make that two.

Im really ready to get this thing started, I feel like up until this point it has been all talk, emails, and planning. 

Im ready to get going, and get started!

Honolulu here I come. 

In the words of Josh Hodge:

'I can't wait to see what happens when God eats me up and poops me out.'

Thats probably inappropriate or something but it's true.

Im so excited to be worked in, and used by the Lord. 

For Him to change and mold me to be more like Him.

For His will to be done, His perfect will!

And to grow and draw nearer to Him daily!!

Pray that traveling goes well, and for all the great unknowns I will be walking into tomorrow!
