1 Week. 7 Days. 168 Hours. 10,080 Minutes. 604,800 Seconds!

Alllllllright! One more week to go until I finally get to begin this crazy adventure. I cannot believe that it is here. It seems like I have been looking forward to this for quite some time and the fact that it is here is making me as giddy as a mokey on a merry go round. Weird comparison, I know, but it perfectly describes how I feel right now!

I would like to start off by saying thank you to YOU.  I am able to go where God wants me to go because of the support you have given me through prayer and finances. Hebrews 12:1 says, "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us." Thank you for being in my cloud. :] By supporting me, I am taking you on this journey alongside me and my team! So I hope you are ready to laugh with.. or at me-whatever the situation calls for, to learn with me, cry with me, and glorify God with me.

Recently, the Lord has been reminding me of what He tells us in chapter 4 of Philippians. That is to be anxious for nothing. As stoked as I am to head off and leave, this next week is going to be a precious time for me. I get the chance to spend the week in Colorado Springs with my parents and man oh man, am I excited. It will be a good week of preparation, solitude, and relaxation. I challenge you to do the same and be reminded not to be worried for the future. Live in the here and the now! God is giving this present of the present, so let us unwrap it and have a ball.

If you have the ability to keep updated with me through this blog, make sure to leave some love! It would be so wonderful to hear from you and answer any questions that you may think of. I am so excited and ready to embark on this expedition..I hope you are too!
