sweet jeepers.

ok. so.

God has a funny way of working things out. and kicking us in the face when we need it.. and getting us to do things. i was just starting to get lazy about my trip when WHAM. suddenly i might not go. well as i'm sure you can imagine, whoever you are, that the threat of spending the summer in indiana was all it took to motivate me through the final stages of planning and things. and now things have worked out.. just the way they should have all along. it's funny how that happens- we set our sights on something we think we want.. and God takes us on the path he wants us on regardless.. and we usually end up finding that God's way is way better.

so the mamma and the papa are leaving tuesday for Disney World (anniversary celebration.. jealous.). and my mom all along wanted me to stay in the states until they got back. i, obviously, refused. and continued to plan my trip around leaving well.. today. and, obviously once again, i did not in fact leave today. i'm leaving saturday. the day before they get home- so i WILL be here to watch the house and be with sarah and fatty. just like my mom wanted- and i'm sure just like God knew it would be better.

anyways.

leaving saturday. this is the final countdown. still mostly terrified of the airport experience. that's the only part that worries me. i've never flown alone before. and i've never flown commrcial with luggage- alone or not. so. i'll wave goodbye in pittsburgh and pray that God will get me to ghana.

here goes nothing.
