Here Comes the BOOM!! (aka reality)

So first of all, October 4th marks 100 days until I begin my trip and realizing I am about to be down to double digits both excites and scares the mess out of me. A couple weeks ago, I just went through a phase where I had a really hard time accepting the upcoming reality and thinking about all the stuff I need to do almost made me depressed. My mom and I had taken a weekend trip to Destin and I had tried on Chacos which I think are like THE ugliest shoes in the world and because I had let myself start to get stressed about it, just trying them on almost made me cry. I bought some a couple days later because I'd rather get it out of the way. Like rippin off a band-aid. If you don't know what Chacos look like I will show you:

.... Now you see my pain

But just like He always does, God has proved Himself to be so faithful. He has been showing me over and over again how He is going to provide for me. I'm not scared anymore. A little nervous but I think anybody would be. I know God is going to take care of me and give me all of the resources and courage I need to be prepared for this trip, even getting over my fear of ugly shoes. Hopefully within the next few weeks I will be finding out about the team I am going with and being Facebook buddies with them which I'm so pumped about! Thank you for all of your continued prayers and support.

PS thank you to my roommate Rachele for finding a quarter on the ground and donating it to my trip. She's really just the sweetest :)
