Currently...
I am entering a new chapter in my life. A chapter that is exciting, new, different, out of my element, and that is completely crazy to me. Three weeks ago a non profit organization came to my church and showed a screening of the film "crossing". This organization is called LiNK which stands for Liberty in North Korea. After strongly thinking and praying about it over the course of 24 hours I made the decision to hop on board and become a Nomad for LiNK. Soon there after I put my two weeks in my job, put my 30 day notice in my apt. and said all my good byes to my friends and family back home. I am at this very moment at the Nomad apt. where there are 15 of boys and girls crammed into a 3 bedroom apt. This living situation has not been difficult however due to the lack of time that we actually spend in the house.
Ever since figuring out that I was going to go and leave home for 3 months, I have been nothing but non stop busy, getting minimal amounts of sleeps. Being busy has made it easy for my emotions to not be able to catch up with how I am actually feeling about leaving familiarity over the course of the next few months. Our office days are typically 7 am or a bit earlier and run till 9 pm but at times longer. Extensive, yes.
I have gotten a little time to just sit and think. Time to let my emotions get caught up momentarily. For the past three weeks I have been completely ok with being away from home for the next couple months. Don't get me wrong I still am... but I just now felt what it is that I am going to be feeling on the road when I am 2000 miles across the country. I didn't mention I was going to be traveling the south huh? I am, and I am super stoked on my region and teammates. Going off topic and rambling is what I do best at times, even when writing, and being able to edit this and not wanting to out of pure laziness.
Back to where I initially was going with this is that I think that I am going to miss my friends, my mom, brother, and even my job at Mimi's which I disliked at most moments. I have a mixed array of emotions that I don't even know exactly what I am feeling or able to pin point what it is. I know that there is a few issues that I will not talk about due to the reason that this blog is public and at any given moment anyone can read it.
Well friends...If you could be praying for me the next couple months about my strength to stay inner connected with the cause, stay motivated, meet new and exciting faces, safe travel, and comfort. I just think that, that is something that would be awesome in this time of moving, changing, and getting out of my element. I know I cant do this on my own as much as I would like to say I could.
I hope all is well back home for those who even read this.
I am excited to share my stories and life with anyone over the next few months.
I plan on updating as much as possible but we all know that every other blog I say I need to and it still doesn't happen
