2 Days To Go!!!

Hey everyone! So this is the first of many blogs! I can't believe that I leave in just 2 days. I remember when my countdown was at 150! Well my bags are almost pack. I just need to leave them alone! I keep taking stuff out and putting more stuff in. I'm terrified that they will weigh to much when I get to the airport, but I have already figured out what I can leave behind if I have to. I have never been very good at packing and really wanted my sister to come and do it for me, but oh well.

 

I have to be honest and say that I am really starting to get nervous. I don't try to hide the fact that I am a homebody! I love love love my family and I know that I am going to miss them like none other when I am gone. I just have to keep telling myself that it isn't goodbye, it's just see you later! Maybe that will help? Not likely.

 

So I have this terrible tendency to dwell on the negative, so in the spirit of "taking every though captive" I decided yesterday to look at the positive! So I am going to share some of that with you! For starters, the weather forecast for Kona is 82 and sunny ALL week long! Second, I watched a video that my school director posted and it was of the school staff all dancing around and acting goofy. I showed it to my mom and her comment was "looks like you'll fit right in"!

 

The last thing is the most important. God's presence and love in my life is so thick! Even though it is easy to get discouraged and scared I know that He loves me and without his love I would be nothing. My life would mean nothing. As I step out in faith I know that I had better brace myself because I have no doubt that He is going to blow me away.

 

So be praying for me over the next few days! Be praying for my family! Be praying for safety and peace! I will let everyone know that I made it to Kona as soon as I possibly can!

 

P.S. I have an emailing list going so if for some reason you are not on it send an email with your address to fields.maggie@gmail.com and I will get you added!
