Life In Progress
These past few months have been a whirlwind of emotions. They have been filled with excitement, stress, joy, frustration, and anxiety. As most of my friends went away to college, I was left at home to take on my season of work before I embark on my journey to Asia. I got a little taste of the working life, which is tough and exhausting, but rewarding.
I’ve had much time to spend on my own over the past few months which was a blessing in disguise for me. I tend to keep myself busy with work, friends, or anything else that entertains me. It was a change of pace for me to have endless amounts of time to spend with my thoughts. This gave me much needed space to be honest with myself about where I am personally. I have learned some good, disappointing, and surprising things about myself. It has been a period of growth, rest, and reflection. These months were fundamental as I worked to reach some personal goals while preparing myself for my upcoming trip.
I am now two weeks away from leaving the comfort of home to start my adventure in Cambodia and Thailand. The months of waiting flew by and now the time that I have been preparing for is almost here. I’m nervous, but I don’t know what exactly I’m scared for because I really don’t know what to expect. I guess I am anxious of the unknown. But as nervous as I am, I am so ready. I cannot wait to meet the people I will be traveling, serving, and learning with. I’m excited for all the cool things God has planned for me, my team, and the people and places we will be serving. I’m ready to be challenged, uncomfortable, and to love like crazy. Thanks for reading, I can’t wait to update you on my experiences and adventures!
