{Before you read.....This blog turned out really long, but they won't all be this long! :D}
There is a lot that has to be done before I even get on the plane for Philly. The obvious one is raising support for the trip. That in itself is a big one. There is also the job of communicating with my future roommates as to who will bring what furniture and appliances. (We will be supplied with the basics, but will need to supply the smaller things.) And, of course, you will here all about my emotions leading up to the trip. :)
As for life after Philly, that is a blank slate right now. You know just as much as I know on that subject...And as for life in Philly, it is going to be crazy fun! I am aware that it is going to be extremely challenging and even discouraging and possibly boring sometimes, but I can't help but be excited about a new adventure!
I am hoping to be adding to this blog at least once a week. It will consist of updates, prayer requests, and pictures. maybe even some links to great sites. But the prayer requests will be the most important part of this blog-- and the reason it was created. As for now, please pray for a Christ-like attitude. Now that I have a goal in sight, I am becoming very antsy. Honestly, I am tired of the combo of not being able to drive, and living at my parents' house which is not near a bus stop. I know that if I hadn't been staying at Mom and Dad's I would not have saved up as much money for the upcoming trip, or have been able to resolve the medical issues that I have resolved. And I am thankful for that! But I still find myself antsy and even grumpy more than I usually would be. Please pray for my attitude! I want to hear what God needs to tell me, but it is not easy when I am focusing on myself! :) Thanks for praying!
I am sure that there will be tons of posts buy the end of one year, but don't worry- they won't all be this long. :) Lets go on this ride together! Yahoo!
In Christ, Sara
