Well, this is my first time creating my own blog so bear with me until I get my bearings straight.
Right now it is 10:30 pm the night before I leave home for six months. Tomorrow I have to catch a 9 am plane to Denver, where I'll participate in a week long orientation session before shipping out to India on the 19th. Exciting! This past week has certainly been hectic: Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday saw me back in Champaign where I was trying to finish up my research before turning it over to my professor (thanks again for being so understanding!). That being done, I felt it was entirely necessary to take off Thursday from any trip planning and go snowboarding with my family. This was something I have been itching to do since Thanksgiving, and may not have a shot at until next year. Finally, yesterday and today have been jam-packed with last minute shopping, packing and organizing trip details. Right now, I just want to get the show on the road!
Strangely, but fortunately, I'm really not the least bit nervous or anxious right now. I'm very thankful for this peace and I know it comes from the Lord and the fact that I'm just doing His will. It has been such a blessing to look back and see the many ways in which He has made this whole thing possible. I would also especially like to thank all of you who have supported me either in prayer or financially as answers to my prayers.
Well, I still have some things to take care of and sleep to look forward to so I'll wrap this up here. By all means feel free to make comments - I will read them and cherish them as little bits of home (awww). Hopefully I will be able to keep the blog updated to within 2-3 days, but please be patient with me if for any reason I become delayed. My desire is that through this blog and my other updates you all may feel as if you are sharing with me in my experiences in even the smallest way. Here's to a grand voyage!
Blessings,
