Wow...I cannot believe in just under 100 days I'll be leaving for training camp at the Adventures in Missions (AIM) Headquarters. Every day closer to embarking on this incredible journey becomes more and more surreal to me. It's crazy to think that what I've been dreaming of for years will be coming to pass in a few short months. I don't want to miss any of it!

Being present is so important to me, so although the anticipation for this adventure is running high, I've tried my very best to remain present in every moment I'm having in my life right now. Over the past couple of years, God has taught me to truly value every moment He gives me on earth. I've learned that life isn't about tomorrow, it's about today and how I'm living in it. Never do I want to miss a day that the Lord has made.

As I'm nearing closer to taking off on this journey, I almost can't believe it's really happening. Apart from me feels like it's still so far away, yet I'm only here for a few more months and I know the time is going to fly by.

I'm not gonna lie, a part of me is nervous. I've never been away from home longer than two weeks. And this is 3 months. But you know how people say "home is where the heart is"? Well, my heart is with Jesus so I know that wherever I go I'll be home because He'll always be with me. That truth is so comforting, yet hard to be fully immersed in. I know I will still miss my family. I'll miss my friends. I'll miss my community. I'll miss a lot of things but during this time I'll also be gaining more family, friends, and community.

God is so good. Even in this present time, He is opening doors for me I never even knew existed. He is moving in my heart now and preparing me for what's next. So I'm remaining faithful to Him because I don't want to miss the extraordinary ways He is going to use my ordinary self.

To all my family and friends, thank you for being faithful to what God has placed on your hearts to support me in this journey of faith. Without you all, I don't know if I would be where I am today. I love you all so much and am always appreciative of your prayers and support for me!
