Am I ready to leave? That's the number one question I have been asked over the last week. How do I answer such a complicated question? Am I ready to leave behind my family, my friends, my comfort zone, my sense of security, everything I know, my new friends, the food I`m use too? By no means am I ready for that, no one will ever be ready for that. But is that the question or is it, am I ready for a new adventure, ready to see God work in new ways and places, to make new friends, strengthen bonds with old friends, try new foods, see new places, learn to live a new way, and to discover new things about myself? How can I not be ready for that? How can I not be excited for this new journey.
As I wrote this the other day I was just a few hours from finding out that I will be leaving sooner than I had expected. Tomorrow evening (Thursday) I will leave, as opposed to leaving on Saturday morning. This has made me rush a lot of packing, planning, and meeting with friends. But it has also pushed me to focus and really get stuff done and stop procrastinating. It has also made me realize that I could be talking with everyone online like normal soon after I land or it could be a few days. Either way I know I have some great friends who are going to be there with me through this time of transition and I know that God will provide for me what ever I need, even if it gets rough.
Over the last few days home I have had a great time spending time with all my friends and keeping in touch with those from training. I have been in contact with most of my friends here at home and all of my family. Leaving and going to a time zone 7 hours a head of everyone I know will put a strain on communication but it will also show which relationship are strongest and will continues to grow. I am so thankful for this wonderful opportunity to go to Ukraine and expand my comfort zone and meet new and amazing people and have great experiences to tell everyone about...STAY TUNED FOR MORE ABOUT MY EXPERIENCE!!!
