1 Month

Today marks one month till I leave Ohio and head onward to New Zealand. I have begun taking on the joys of getting my stuff together and sifting through the most important things to take. I am beginning to realize that living out of a backpack for 6 months will not be easy, and quite challenging! But bring it on!! I know God is going to work in amazing ways, and I cannot wait to learn and see and grow. Jesus be with me.

Goodness....

On Sunday I had my brunch fundraiser. It went really well! I had so many wonderful people helping me and making delicious food. This was my final fundraiser before I leave for New Zealand next month, and the outcome was such a blessing!! Indeed God is good, and again I was reassured that this is where I am meant to go.
What a blessing this preparation stage has been for me. I am ready to be in a plane across the Pacific anticipating what God is going to do in my life and reflecting on what He already has done. I do get a bit anxious when I think about being gone for six months, but I think it will be good for me to get away. This whole thing is beyond mind boggling and to know God chose ME to go!! It's all a little frightening, but at the same time exciting and wonderful. I have amazing family that have helped me soo much through these past months and I am so grateful for their support. Although I still have quite a bit to do before I leave the states, I am looking forward to this marvelous adventure!

Not Something Sweet

I am unsure what to write about in my first post in the blogging world. In fact, writing a first post is quite intimidating, because it is your very first and the pressure is on to write something really stunning/gripping/creative. BUT, I don't really have anything to say today. So.......maybe tomorrow I will write something sweet. :)
