I have been anticipating this day for a
long time. I remember the first time I heard about the program and immediately
knew it was for me. I never second guessed my decision, never thought “maybe I
should go somewhere else” or “why the heck did I sign up for this”. I have
never felt a more unwavering certainty in Gods’ plan for me. Now that the day
is finally here I am experiencing so many different emotions. It’s humbling,
exciting, unnerving but not in a threatening way, sad, hopeful, inspiring… So
many different feelings that I am not quite sure what I feel. People keep using
the expression “life changing experience” but do they really consider the
immensity of that statement. Life. Changing. I am sitting in my bed a night
before beginning this journey and trying to comprehend the idea that my life is
about to be changed, forever. And not only will my life be changed, but I have
the opportunity to change someone else’s life, even just one single person. The
array of emotions that come from these thoughts are overwhelming. I will be
updating my blog everyday with posts and pictures documenting my trip. I want
to make it as personal as possible not only for Carol, Willy, and Brooks, but
because I want to look back at my entries and remember exactly how I felt along
my journey. Enough with the seriousness.
I am all packed and ready to go. When I first weighed my bag is was 65 pounds,
without even putting shoes in it… I definitely have a packing issue.
Hope everyone enjoys my posts! Love you
all and wish me luck in BELIZEEEEEE!
