This is it. The homestretch. Sort of...
Four days until I hop on a plane and go head first into my adventure. I can't lie...I'm nervous. I'm scared. I'm going to miss this place I call home. This is the biggest thing I've ever done in my life. Quite possibly one of the most life changing things I may do in my life. This is preparing me for bigger things. The grown up world, I suppose. Even though I'll be chasing little kids around all day. I'll be on my own, far away from home. It's exciting, but scary at the same time.
I couldn't help but feel a bit nostalgic when I curled up in bed with my mom tonight and she scratched my back. It's almost as if this is four more days of being mommy's little girl. I know I won't come back the same. That's exciting, but like I said, scary at the same time. I just don't even want to think about it. After wondering how I would be feeling my last week at home before I leave, wondering if I was going to be feeling these things, it's here...and I am. I was really doing okay this whole weekend, but I just had to say goodbye to four people who are near and dear to my heart for 2 1/2 months. My step-siblings. Love them so much. I don't even want to think about that either.
So this is where trusting and leaning of God comes in, doesn't it? Here we go...! Here.we.go.
I was browsing through profiles and found yours. We seem to have similar interests; maybe you would be interested in my blog! I am a homeschooler, and hold some unique views on life. On my blog I express those views, post recipes, book reviews, and try to entertain and interest whatever small audience I might have. Take a peek, you might like what you find:

You will be great. You will be wonderful. Yes, it will be one of the most difficult things that you will do. Yes, you will be challenged. Yes, you may go home as a completely different person. That all being said, embrace it. Take everything for what it is. Feel the feelings that you are feeling, and be ready. Not prepared for anything (because you can never be prepared for everything!), ready to face your fears head on, ready for challenging moments, be ready for the unexpected. Be ready for grace and beauty and wonder. By being ready, i mean be YOU! :)
