Home, Sweet Home

I'm writing this post as I sit on the floor of my living room in Florida.  Florida smells really nice right now (strange thought, I know...but I walked out of the bank today after running some errands and those were the exact words I said to myself).  It's good to be home.

Spring semester 2010 - over.  End of the year cleaning and packing - over.  Long drive back home - also over. 

Now that the whirlwind of school/finals/papers/cleaning/RA paperwork has stopped, I finally have some time to consciously process the fact that I'm flying out of the country in 2 days!  Wow...in 56 hours.  ...Over 21 hours of flight time, not to mention airport time.  I'm excited :)  It'll be a good chance for me to think about the upcoming 3 months.

I spent most of yesterday evening making lists of things to do.  I spent most of today completing and crossing things off that list and then realizing all the things I forgot to write down yesterday. 

Some quick updates and praises:
-My Visa to the Philippines arrived in the mail last week.  phew!
-All of my fund-raising is complete!  Thank you for your generous gifts!  and keep praying :)

Some prayer requests:
-That the Lord would calm my anxieties about last minute travel preparations/paperwork and traveling alone
-For rest and safety during travel
-That I would have an unquenchable thirst for God and take time to just be still before Him, especially as my life is currently just "go go go"

Until next time ... :)
