First post. man. It's crazy because right now this website is practically empty....but I know that seven months from now i am going to be able to look back and see everything that i did and everything that i learned. I have no idea what to expect. Pretty much right now it is completely surreal. seriously. 100% surreal. I know that I am supposed to be doing ywam, and its amazing to see how it has all come together....the support, the preparation, the details, but it hasnt hit me that for six months i am going to be in a completely different place with 20 other people that are strangers to me now. craziness, thats all i can say. A month from now I am going to be stepping on a plane, looking back one more time to see my parents waving behind me, and then looking forward, realizing that i have this whole unknown in front of me... I'm just really ready. Ready to discover who I am. Ready to really be challenged on what it is that i believe. I know that my heart is in a good place for that right now and its exactly where God wants it to be before i start this new experience. He sees the bigger picture. so, im going to stop there. thats pretty much all i can say. AND...i think im going to be a big fan of this whole online journaling thing.
