One Week, Two Days...and It's all falling into place....


And...the countdown begins!



I've got exactly 10 days till I leave. I'm so happy to finally say that I have an address in Colorado Springs!! I found a GREAT place that is cheap and close to school (which by the way if you check out my last blog, is what I prayed for :)


I also (finally!) received my enrollment packet from school (It was sent back after going to my old address) Now I know what classes I will be taking and when. I know what books I'll be needing and I know what orientation week is going to look like. (I will be BU-SY!)


Now I can start packing (Again!) and getting all my stuff ready to leave.


You know, everyweek God has proven that he is faithful. One thing that I was a little worried about was not knowing anyone at the school or in the whole state! I know that most of you that know me, know that I'm pretty outgoing, and definetely not shy. But what you don't know is that I'm not like that with new people. I'm actually not very sociable! I used to be one of those kids in kindergarten who just like to sit in a corner and play alone. I was like that all the up through junior high and high school and even college when I started! I've been praying that God would allow me to be sociable. That I wouldn't go the entire 10 months and just keep to myself. That I would make friends and have fun.


And wouldn't you know God came through. In the enrollment packet from school, I was given a few names of other girls who are looking for places to live, and I emailed a few of them just checking out roomates and that has started the process of getting to know each other. I've been able to e-mail back and forth with a few and even find them on facebook. It's a great time that we can share as we all are having the same feelings about moving to a new city on our own for the first time.
With everyday, I'm getting more and more excited about going. I know that God has some amazing things planned for me and for the other students as well.

Thank you guys for ALL of your support. Most of you reading this, are my church family and you guys don't know how much I appreciate all the love and support that you guys have given me. You truly are apart of my family, and have all helped mold me into the person that I am now. I thank God everyday that I have people like you in my life and I pray that God will bless you in everything that you do.

I want to try to get one more blog in before I leave. But I do have a ton of stuff going on. If I don't post another before then, I apologize. If there are some who I don't get to see before I leave, I apologize!! Please know that I will miss you and with technology these days I'm easy to get a hold of!! :)

    Your Blogs always make me cry ... I am so excited for you ... It is good to hear that you already have a couple of friends to share this experience with and I know you will make the most of it. You are so sweet and likeable and so so talented that I know, like you said, that God is going to do some great things. Please get me your address so I can write you now and then ... FB is great for keeping in touch but getting mail when you're far away from home is great too!! Love you!!
