A plane with me in it! I am leaving in less than 24 hours for sunny Florida. Although Charleston hasn't been too cold the past couple of days. I'm all packed and I feel strangely ready to go. Why is it that when you feel like you haven't forgotten anything that makes you nervous? It should give me comfort since I have been planning forever, however I'm beginning to panic. Part of me wants to unzip my suitcases and go through everything again, the other part doesn't want to have to repack :) The first couple of days I am there I have no idea what my internet access will be like. I hopefully will get to check it at least once but once I'm in Crystal River I'll have full access all the time. So if I do not blog for awhile don't think I've completely forgotten about my blog or about you. Check back and as soon as I get a chance I'll put up pictures of the first leg of the trip. Thank you all for your emails or calls for how you can be praying. The support I have is unbelievable and I appreciate it greatly. I'm going to put a few requests at the bottom of this blog throughout my stay b/c I am sure God will not allow me to stay in one place too long. I am somewhat sad to be leaving for three weeks, but am also looking forward to the time away. God and I find a different sort of bond when I'm taken out of my comfort zone.
Thank you all again. I will I'm sure talk to most of you while I'm away (3 weeks isn't long).
Things right off the bat to be praying for: safe travel, and quick travel I have a very brief layover in DC that I 'm nervous I may not make, Open heart and mind to what happens down there, and for God to just increase my knowledge of him and my knowledge of the ministry.
Love ya!!!
I'd like to leave you with one final image of me getting ready: I was carrying my luggage out and thought it felt extremely heavy. I began to panic that I would not make the weight requirement, I started to think about how I could weigh my luggage before getting to the airport. A bath scale would obviously not be able to handle that size... what to do? what to do? Then it hits me the vet has a big scale that they weigh dogs on I'll just take it there. That my friends is what I did I went to the Vet's office asked if I could bring my luggage in to weigh on their scale.... good thing I did I was 5lbs over!!!!
