Chugging Along

Well, graduation is done and so is the crazy, crazy wedding that I was a part of this past weekend. It's a huge relief, I must admit, that those are over. Now all I have to worry about at this point is packing up and moving out of my house before my lease is up. I'm telling myself to take it day by day so that I don't get overwhelmed.

I've been doing a great Bible study with Tom, the director of CEO, and it's really challenging me, which I appreciate. I'm really learning to face my fears and the qualities that don't particularly glorify the Lord and I'm learning to change those so that they DO, in fact, glorify God as He should be. It's challenging and awesome.

I'm looking forward to the next 2 months; getting ready to leave, visiting people, etc. I'm not really looking forward to how fast it's supposed to move, to be honest. I know that it's going to be tough to pick and choose who I get to visit, but I know that those I don't get to visit will understand hopefully. Just pray that God keeps the sun up a little longer in the sky a few times between now and July ;)

Overwhelmed

I have to admit, that I'm a little overwhelmed at this point. Graduation is 2 days away, packing seems to never end, and not to mention all the craziness of the weekend that comes when there are roughly 20,000 in a single location on one campus. I'm really trying to enjoy all the time that I have with all my friends before I leave though because it's going really hard to realize that I'll most likely never see these people anymore and if I do, it won't be for a very long time.

Don't get me wrong, I'm extremely excited to be getting ready to go and start a very new and very exciting chapter of my life, but it's petrifying all at the same time. I'm not necessarily overwhelmed with everything that I have to do, but I'm just overwhelmed with how much time I don't have left. It's going to be difficult to make all the visits that I want to make if I don't have an adequate amount of time to do it. Geez... so much to do, so little time.

Coming together

Well, I know that it's been a while since I've been able to post something on the blog, but things have been a little hectic and, to be honest, there hasn't been much to update. Now, that things are finally moving along, quite a few things have come to pass. First, I've officially purchased my plane ticket to go! YAY! I'm so excited. I'm also finally to pack a few bags that we're sending over a little early. So, with all these little things coming together, it's starting to make things a little more real.

Fundraising is still going on and still quite the challenge for my faith. When I got my first report of where I was standing financially, I didn't actually get as much as I was expecting. But, after talking with a few of my old friends and much wiser people, it really helped me realize that the Lord WILL provide exactly what I need for this trip. Not only will he provide, but He'll provide it with the perfect timing too.

So, for now, keep me in your prayers and specifically pray for my fundraising and my faith to keep growing during this whole process!
