Two weeks


This whole blog thing is new to me and just a little awkward because I’m telling you all my feelings....haha but once I get to Switzerland I will have so much to talk about that you will be telling me to stop rambling

Yesterday was my last day of school and I couldn't be more excited to be done :) Yesterday was also my last day of work and that wasn't too exciting because I love all the people I work with and I’m going to miss them a lot.

Today starts the countdown, two weeks to go until I leave.. It is crazy to me because six months ago we were talking about this whole YWAM thing and it was just and idea…plus my parents didn’t support it at first because they thought we were too young and it was too long. What I’m trying to say is that I can’t believe it is already here! Everyone keeps asking me if I’m getting nervous, and the answer is not really. I mean I’m a little nervous because of the fact that I’m going around the world and I never thought I would be doing that…let alone by myself..and trying to carry 5 bags through an airport that speaks a different language. I’m nervous about little things like that, and like will I be the youngest one there? Or will I remember how to ski? Well even if I did remember to ski I have never skied on mountains before so I guess I’m still out of luck! But little things like that sure are nerve racking, but when I look at the big picture, and the reason why I’m going there I’m so so so excited! I can’t wait to have class 5 days a week about the bible and have these awesome speakers come speak to us, and just learning more about God seriously pumps me up. And this week was the perfect example of why I want to do something like this (YWAM).. I was so busy it was my last week of school so I had so much homework here, I have family here from out of town so I’m trying to visit with them, I trying to get things ready for our grad party, basically I was so busy I even found it hard to find time to sleep. And that bothers me so much because the reason I live everyday of my life is for God and to give him Glory and when I’m so busy with stuff that doesn’t even come close to importance, God gets push to the back, like he has to wait in line. The Discipleship Training school, which is three months and spent in Switzerland, just gets me so excited for this trip. For 3 months I will be able to be in a class room with 25 other young adults and learn about what really matters! I will have no lame high school homework to do, I won’t have to stop what I’m doing and go to work.....I won’t have to try and make time for God! He will have all my attention, my full attention, which is the way it is suppose to be.
