As I keep getting closer and closer to leaving for my trip, more and more exciting stuff seems to be happening. Everything is moving at a much faster pace than it was moving in the beginning. There's more paperwork and other things I have to take care of but I'm also getting to tell more people about all that is happening since people get very curious when you are getting ready to leave home for six months! The amount of love and support I am constantly receiving is so overwhelming so thank you. All of you. After I make a new blog post I am checking how many views I have had like every 5 minutes because it makes me excited to see people actually want to hear about and care enough about what I am doing to read what I have to say.
So first of all, I officially turned in my letter of resignation for chickfila this week. My last day of work will be December 13th. I really do love my job and I will miss my fellow employees but for my emotional sanity, I need to give myself plenty of time to prepare for my trip. The amount of support and excitement for me that I have been shown at work has truly been a blessing. I love being in a place where people genuinely care so much about me.
As far as recent trip events, last week I purchased my plane ticket to Indiana. Although my mom did help me finalize my purchase and my ticket decision, she refused to help me with the researching part because she told me she was just going to stay in denial. She came through for me when I really needed it though! I've also had a family tell me they would like to purchase my sleeping bag I need for me which is so amazing because that is one big thing I kinda really need that I don't have to worry about anymore.
God has been continuing to show me His faithfulness even when I am drowning in a sea of doubt. I had to get my brakes repaired on my car this week which was not a cheap fix. I became very worried that I would not have the funds I need and began crying out to God asking how He could get me so close and then ruin everything by giving me this expensive car repair. But when my mom and I got to the mechanics they said it had already been paid for by my grandparents. It was definitely a reminder that I don't have to do everything with my own strength. It got me thinking how often God takes care of me and how often I easily forget that. I started thinking that if I got a tattoo every time God showed me up, I would have a lot of tattoos. I'd be like Kat Von D with more tattoos than bare skin. God will not lead me to a place where I know I am following His will and then leave me hanging. This is where He wants to be and He is going to make sure it happens. Even when I doubt He can.
Day count: only 50 days away!!!
