Taking off!

(posted later than actually written)

Well! Here is an interesting fact: I am sitting at the airport! The time is currently 6:26, exactly 2 hours before my flight takes off. The plane is not here yet, and the lounge is pretty empty, so I might have to entertain myself for a while. I don’t think that I have even flown out as late as 8:30. I mean, I know it is not that late, but I am interested to see if I like this better.

So the excitement of Scotland is only escalating at this point. As I sit here I can here this family across the way talking about how many American Dollars they have left. Oh, and of course- they have Scottish accents! Only like 15 more hours until I land on that sweet soil.

I have never flown alone before- something that makes me quite nervous. But as I sit here I think that I will be ok. I mean, sometimes the phrase “God is always with you” is used too much (no offense) But I did not come to this point and say “Oh God please come with me and comfort me.” It is more like, “God, thank you for sending me here, and thank you for including me in your work.”

So while it is an adventure for me to travel alone, I at least travel with a purpose. A purpose for the Kingdom.

A little side note here- I am not quite sure if the ground is shaking or if my heart is just beating fast because this is actually happening. I don’t think my pulse can actually make this row of chairs shake. But I did have to stop and think for a second :)

Anyways- simply put, I am thrilled! Thanks for being a part of this journey.

Here are some prayer requests:
-That I will engage in conversations with people and not be scared
-To be looking for every opportunity that God has for me
-For a safe flight
-For friendships made

Thanks guys- it means more than you know!
