Leaving

I leave in 5 full days. My mom and I plan wake up around 3am and leave around 3:30 to catch my plane. It's kinda sad, idk the whole being away from my friends and family for 3 months and then I come home and turn around for college. Trying to fix things with relationships or see people before I leave is tough. I dont think I've ever been saying good bye, especially to friends I won't see for more than half a year. I am excited though, everything is packed and ready. I really feel like a new chapter is beginning with my life. Paul taped me today for the Global missions to see my testimony. Apparently the video will be shown during service at church, fuel, and be presented to further persuade kids to go on missions and for the Global missions to send more on trips. It is a huge Honor, and I am greatly humbled to be used for this cause. It really hit me today that I'm doing something people don't normally do. But I've never been more content in my life.

Guess we both know we're in over our heads
We got nowhere to go and no home that's left
The water is rising on a river turning red
It all might be OK or we might be dead
If everything we've got is slipping away
I meant what I said when I said until my dying day
I'm holding on to you, holding on to me
Maybe it's all gone black but you're all I see
You're all I see

How exciting to be traveling with you on your journey, through this blog. I'm going to be keeping you parents in prayer too. I know what it's like to be a mom of an independent young woman! Denny and would like a picture of you in your new "home" as soon as you can post it. I think he may have special plans for it!
