Last Minute Nerves

Starting to get very nervous. I mean, I'm still super excited but I keep thinking of things as "lasts," at least for a while. For example: the last time I'll get to hold my nephew and nieces, the last church service here, last time sleeping in my room. I know they haven't come but the fact that they're getting so much closer is starting to freak me out a little.

I was lying in my bed last night and I realized how different it is waiting in expectation for something to happen and imagining it all out in your head and it actually happening. I always new they'd be different, but it's actually hit me now...

I keep reminding myself of Joshua 1:9 and I have a feeling it's going to become something of a mantra for me.

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go. (NKJV)

I guess the thing I am the most scared of is leaving my family behind for so long, and the idea that this trip might not be everything I hoped.

Well, it's still 15 or so sleeps till I actually leave so I guess I shall keep listening to this song and praying.

    You will be awesome. I have no doubt of that. :) And, if you are ever sad or lonely (which, frankly, is definitely going to happen) then you will Skype me. Unless I have a midterm the next day, in which case you can Skype Sharon. :p
    Praying for you. <3
