The Time has Come!!!

So today is the day!!! I leave for Raleigh in eight hours, then lots of time in the airport and other airports and then I don't know what. This is a super exciting opportunity, currently I am nervous though. This is not generally something I encounter, extreme nervousness is flowing. Many things could be the cause of this. The biggest one could be the fact that my life is going to be in a different country and I have no clue what that looks like at all. The second could be thoughts back to Chicago. An old friend of mine and I watched The Vow today, which was filmed in Chi-town, and it brought back memories of last summer. Quick flashback time, almost about a year ago my mother dropped me off at Charlotte Douglass Airport and I was excited EXCITED!! I was super late, so it was crunch time. My bag was somehow under 50 pounds and the line wasn't too long to get through security. I looked at my mom and just started crying, in the airport-in public. We part ways and I'm standing in the line crying, what a cute moment. But anyways I make it through by myself and the journey was started. I say all this because tomorrow the same scene will most likely occur. But most of the team will be there and crying will not be a way I want to start this summer. Whaaaaaa!!! It's today, I can't get it through my mind. Six weeks in Argentina, six weeks in Buenos Aires, six weeks in another country: it can't be reality! Out of human nature, my mind wants to travel back to the familiar and find a place from last summer to figure out some of the discomfort and not knowing. That is not my place though, to know all and understand why things happen the way they do. A friend said to me today, "If I don' give God all my situations, I am not trusting Him."My thoughts are not coming together, to many emotions mixed with uncertainty. But please be praying for safe travels for the team and a solid first beginning, whatever that means. Thank you for everyone who is going on this journey with me, I greatly appreciate it!!! Next time I write to you I will be in South America, ohhhh myyy!!!!
