Last night....

Yup, that's just about how I feel haha. I can say that I was definitely expecting the nerves and anxiety that a four month trip to a foreign country would bring, but I was honestly not expecting them to be this bad. I've been an emotional roller coaster this past week. I've been super excited some days and other days I've felt like I didn't even want to go anymore.

I've always been independent. I've been able to leave home and go to college a good distance away, pay my own rent, buy my own food,

keep my own job. BUT for some reason, I am completely TERRIFIED. All I've wanted to do is sleep and cry. I finally just became numb emotionally. Oh! and did I mention that EVERYTHING is going wrong?? Haha. So typical...

However, last night at church, I was able to talk with a friend  I hadn't seen in a long while. He was such an encouragement. I've gotten several words of encouragement and advice, but his advice really stuck. What was his advice? MAN UP! Haha! Really though, it was all I needed to hear.

So today is my last day in the states. I leave around noon tomorrow. I'm excited :). Completely unprepared but very exited for what God has in store for me :). Next time I will be writing on this blog I will be enjoying life in Granada, Spain :).
