I leave for this huge, life-changing adventure in two weeks. I know I should be excited, but I'm just not. I know I'm going to go and see the things and places I have dreamed about all my life. I know I'll change and that God will be with me no matter what. I know that this is a gift and blessing that so many people would love to have. I know all this things, but I'm scared. I'm going to miss my family, my boyfriend, and my friends. I'll be so far away, if anything were to happen here in the states, I'll be a world away. I don't know. I just don't feel prepared at all. I guess we'll see how the next few weeks go.
On a far less whiny note, I am going to some amazing places! Porto Rafti, Greece will become my new home for the next few months. It's a cute little port city fifteen minutes from Athens. We get to go to my ultimate dream Egypt, see the pyramids and King's tombs, and float down the Nile. There will be this high pitched noise heard around the world, yeah that'll be me squealing for joy. Then we head to Israel to see the Holy Land. The Garden of Gethsemane, Golgotha, the Wailing Wall, and so many other places. We also get to see Corinth, Delphi, the Dead Sea, the amazing list goes on and on. I'll do my best to remember to blog and talk about all these amazing places.
I am excited. I am. The nerves and thoughts of being away from everything comfortable and loved are just a little louder right now. But that's the beauty of adventure, right? Finding new and unexpected things in the world and in yourself. That's what I'm looking for.
