43 Days

43 days.

That's not very long.

43 days until I say goodbye to the states, the people I love, and my life as I know it.

In 43 days I'm jumping into the unknown. I begin the pursuit of a dream. A dream I have had since I was twelve. I can't even put into words how much this means to me, for so many reasons. That's exciting.

The past two years have been very lifeless.

 Most of our time has been spent trying to just make it through life without going crazy.

And I hate living this way. It's not a life I wish to pursue. It's not a life anyone was intended for.

It's exhausting.

 My heart is crying out for more. My heart is yearning to live for more. To be grown, to be stretched, to be broken, to be healed, to love, to be loved, to give, to be poured out, to be filled up, and to be used for a greater purpose.

To do something I am truly passionate about- it's been a long time. And I can't wait to see how it unfolds.

So now I just have to wait 43 more days.

 I can wait that long, right? I hope so.

Grace&Peace

P.S.

A HUGE thank you to everyone who had supported me thus far!! I have been so humbled by your generosity, and I don't know how even begin thanking you.

Please be praying for me over the next few weeks as I prepare for my travels, and that all the last-minute stuff will get taken care of. Also if you could please be praying that my funds will continue to come in, I would greatly appreciate it. I hate money.
