Thailand: i can't wait!

I am beyond excited to begin my journey in thailand. it's crazy to me, that in less than a month erin and i will be living outside the united states. as much as i have struggled with leaving people behind, i am confident that everything will be alright. i have faith, something i have pushed aside in many moments of weakness.

ecstatic, is one word that could be used to describe my emotion...right now. i just can't wait. i take comfort in that i am not alone. erin and i have decided to embark on this adventure of a lifetime together. i know that i couldn't do this with anyone else. even though we haven't known each for that long, i feel i've known her my whole life. and i truly believe those people don't come along in life often. God has led us together to get where we are, and now we will continue to follow Him in our journey that He has set out for us.

saying goodbye

i recently i had to say goodbye to a certain someone. i knew it would eventually happen...i had been thinking and dreading the moment for a long time. tuesday that very hard realization came to pass. standing at the security gate and being physically in his arms for the last time seemed impossible to let go and walk away, knowing that i wouldn't be in those arms for at least 10 months.

thinking about it is still really difficult, but i can take comfort knowing that God has a plan and right now i need to follow what he has planned for me. and when all is said and done those people who are meant to be in my life will only be phone call away. i choose to believe that everything will be okay, otherwise there's no point.
