Getting Anxious
September 7th is coming up wayy too fast. That’s the day I leave behind my family and friends and home and take a 12 hour plane ride to a small Central American country where I will stay for the next 9 months of my life. As you can probably tell, the nervousness is setting in. Up till now, I had only been excited for this trip. Now that I realize how little time I have left in California, everything seems 10x as amazing as it used to. I want to get the most out of every moment, but seizing the day is something I haven’t been very good at since I was a little kid. It feels like I’m on the brink of a huge adventure, but I’m still clinging on to everything familiar and safe. I don’t know what God has in store for me, but I know he works in amazing ways I could never expect.
Basically, I am so scared. But I think God is pleased the most when we see things for how unpredictable and frightening as they are, and take a leap of faith with Him anyway. So that’s what I’ll do.
