The time has officially come for me to board a plane and leave everything that I know Behind. Tomorrow morning, or Wednesday, I will be leaving for California. It has been hard trying to get ready for the summer, as I have to pack very light and prepare for whatever the next 12 weeks throws at me.
The last week or so has been really hard as the time has come so quickly for me to leave. I did get to hang out with friends and family, see co-workers and have a great time during the week and a half that I have been home. But the thoughts of how I am leaving for 12 weeks, hit me hard several times as I realized that when I leave, I cannot turn around and come home for a weekend like in college. Essentially, I am stranded in California. Some may see this as a good thing, as I am right by the Beach! But, I am leaving what I have come home to in college for a different summer. The thoughts of not wanting to go had crossed my mind, as I became anxious and so very nervous for what was to come. I had become so complacent with going, since I was accepted back in February-but now is the time to re-embrace all my excitement and be excited for what God will use me for.
I am excited, and ready to meet all the friends that I have made on Facebook. All the conversations of flights and travel plans have flooded our group page, and to know that we will all be in the same place in a week and a half, is super exciting in itself! I am ready to be humbled, challenged, and used by God in incredible ways, far past my fears and insecurities. I am indeed making a huge sacrifice for the Lord, and I know that it will be worth it!! :)
Please be in prayer for my travels tomorrow to Huntington Beach, CA as I spend a few days with my grandparents before heading to Santa Cruz next Tuesday/Wednesday. Thanks for all the prayers and support that you have given-and there is more to come as I continue on this journey!!! :))
<3 In Christ, Mel
