Since I've lived at home my whole life and haven't left home for a significant amount of time, I'm not sure what to pack beside clothes.
So I am taking a guess and probably going to bring way more than I will ever need or use.
As I am getting things out and packing up, it hasn't really hit me yet that I am leaving in two days. A part of me is ready to go, but another isn't.
I am ready to go because it is a new chapter in my life that I think I will be good at and that I know God has put in front of me for a reason, and I am thankful for that. But I am not ready to leave, because I've never been away from my friends and family for this long. I am really going to miss everyone, especially Evan. He is also going to be working at a camp over the summer and won't be able to come home and more than likely won't get time off to were I can drive to see him on a weekend since I have most weekends off. But I know that God has put this challenge in front of him and I because he knows We can handle this. He knows that even though we wont get to see each other for two months and will only be able to talk every few days, that we can overcome the challenge and still have a great relationship. We are both doing his work and pleasing him in the process. Which means that only good things can come from this experience.
As I am putting clothes and belongings into containers and thinking about all the things that I have and all the things that I will leaving for two months, it makes me thankful for all the things that I do have and to have the opportunity to show how God blesses us with the things we have to girls who might not understand that fully just yet.
Even though I am nervous about leaving, I know this is what God wants me to do, so I will do it to my best ability!
