21 days and 21 hours

The countdown begins.

I'm leaving for an experience of a lifetime at the end of the month.  I can't believe it.  Living in a foreign country with a new family is definitely going to be a very exciting, yet nerve-wracking journey.  I have been so blessed with a great family and group of friends who are so supportive in this.  The Lord has definitely been watching over me as I get ready to take this leap of faith.  He has blessed me with an amazing family who will always love me (even if i decided to leave for Costa Rica for four months). He has brought the most wonderful boyfriend who has been so supportive through the whole process. And He has given me the friends to encourage me with outlandish possibilities that I may encounter (I hope some of them come true! Who wouldn't want to fly on a zip-line through the jungle?! Hello!).

All in all, as I am getting ready for this incredible adventure, I can't help but to give thanks and praise the One who has created such a beautiful world filled with His beautiful people.
