A Whole Bottle of Emotions

Well, this is the week. I leave for Haiti in 4 days. I'm starting to feel all kinds of emotions. Nervous. Emotional. Anxious. Overwhelmed. Concerned. Excited.

Everything all bottled up.

I couldn't sleep last night. I kept waking up sweating so I'd kick the covers off. Then I'd wake up cold so I'd put the covers back on. And over and over.

I could't turn my thoughts off either. I was mostly thinking how difficult it's going to be to say goodbye to my family for 2 months. It's going to be hard.

I am looking forward to being in Haiti and experiencing a life changing adventure, I'm just not looking forward to the goodbyes.

30 Days! 30 Days! 30 Days!

It's officially May 1st, which means I leave for Haiti in 30 DAYS!!

I'm pumped and ready to go spend the summer in my second home!

Please keep praying that God will continue to prepare my heart for this trip.  That He will renew my mind.  And that His will will be done this summer.

I CAN'T WAIT!!

30 DAYS!!
