so close, so close.

This is insane to me!! I'm leaving this Thursday:) I cannot say that it was fully hit me yet that I won't be here come this time next week.. weird. I cannot believe it. I remember when I was sitting in my kitchen one winter afternoon filling out paperwork for this DTS. It is crazy to think how fast time flies and that’s what kind of is scary to me. Not scary, maybe that’s not the correct word, but up until this point (and at this point, it still remains true for another week) this whole trip has been unknown. I mean, I have seen pictures of the base but there are still so many questions, obviously. What will it be like? How will I feel? Who will I meet? How will I change? What will I learn? Where will we go? And soon, these questions will begin to be answered. I'm definently so so so excited but as true as that is, I have also been realizing how much I really will miss my family.. especially Mom and Dad. They are both so so great and I'm so greatful for the relationship I have with both of them. Love my brothers to death too and I'm sure I'll miss them too. I am curious as to how much we will talk while I am away. I just know that this will be such an amazing experience for me and I'm so blessed to be able to go. Everyone I have talked to who have been involved with YWAM have spoke highly of the organization. I hope my trip will be one full of growth, adventure, and friendship.



I'm not sure what to expect exactly as to how much time I will have to blog, facebook, skype or whatever but I do plan on blogging as often as possible and posting pictures and stuff to keep you guys informed! I am leaving my cell phone at home so feel free to text or call but I won't respond for about five months.. haha:)
Please keep me in your prayers throughout this week as I continue to prepare to go.
