God is so good!
About three days before I left for beautiful England I felt completely overwhelmed by the big-ness of everything I was about to do. The distance is "big", the time I'm gone is "big", the airport is "big", the city, the school, the fear, the anxiety, the joy, the excitement... its all so BIG!
I felt very
very
small.
But my God is big too. Big enough to span all the way here to London, in a different country, a different time zone (which for some reason makes it feel so, so much further from home.) and wrap me in his arms tonight.
I want to tell you all about the amazing place I am living and the friends I have already made and all the things that I am so excited about, but I need to catch up on 24hrs of being awake and an 8 hour time difference. I wish I could be all brave and confident and tell you all that there are no tears tonight, but thats just not true. Pain is a part of growing, and I know that is what this time in London is about. As a very wise friend said to me yesterday- this experience won't change me unless I let it change me. I know the courage and confidence will come with time and the tears tonight are just making the way for it.
More to come (including pictures!) when my head is more securely on my shoulders!
Good night all!
Yay! I am SO SO excited for all that God is going to do in you while you're there - can't wait to hear more about all of your adventures!
