Packing: Check
Double-checking EVERYTHING: Check
Losing my mind: Check
Checking everything one more time: Check
Accepting that this all begins tomorrow: ...
In under 24 hours, many first times will become a reality. My first time on a plane, my first time in Florida, my first time waiting for air service, my first time accepting reality and that this is really happening. Many emotions fill my body: nervous, excited, happy, overwhelmed, sad, and blessed. In spite of all these firsts and all my erupting emotions, I am thankful to have the opportunity to travel and participate in this experience. It's crazy to think, this is all possible because of a decision I made in tenth grade and strived to pursue. When they say God has a plan for you, they certainly don't lie. I have been blessed with many things in my life and I am beyond grateful to experience another of God's many blessings. Like Luke 1:37 says, "For nothing will be impossible with God." PRAYERS COME TRUE. I cannot wait to see how God will continue to bless my life. What a great start to the new year!
I will continue to pray for this trip and other important things in my life. Prayers from family and friends for safe travels, new memories, and impactful moments would be appreciated. Also, prayers to keep the commitment I made in the church today to do 7-days of fasting from coffee would be greatly appreciated, especially considering Costa Rica is one of the leading countries in coffee bean production. Oh! Prayers to see a wild sloth would be accepted as well because that would be super cool and I would love to be able to share that with you all :)
I love you all and I appreciate all the support I have received as I begin this encounter. I cannot wait to share this learning experience with you all <3
