All my bags are packed; I'm ready to go...

I really hate packing. It is one of my absolute least favorite activities. It is now 1:48am. I will leave for the IAH airport in just over two hours, and I am just now finished packing.

At least I will sleep a lot on the plane tomorrow. :)

Next time I post, I'll be across the world!

Websites

Hello everyone! My time to leave for Chiang Mai is getting very close! Two of my teammates, Terri and Leah, are already on the other side of the world. They are in Cambodia this week doing a camp for children who live on the streets there. You can read more about it on Terri's blog - just click on the link to the left.

As my own departure gets closer and closer, my excitement, anticipation, nervousness, joy, and a million other emotions are escalating! I've told a few of my friends recently that I feel like I am standing at the edge of a diving board in my life right now, ready and waiting to dive headfirst into some unknown waters. I will be in Thailand this summer, a place I've never been, and come back to leave quickly to move to Alabama...another place I've never been. I graduated from ACU a few weeks ago, and it's still weird to think that I won't be going back after the break. From here on out, everything is new. It has been very comforting to remember that the Lord is the same wherever I go - and He is faithful!

I wanted to share some websites with you so you can learn more about the team in Chiang Mai.

This is the link for the team: www.chiangmaiteam.org

My teammates and I will be working most closely with the university ministry, and this is their website: www.payapchristianzone.com

I received the Chiang Mai team newsletter in my email today, and as soon as I figure out how to post that on here, I will share it with you!

Blessings to you all.

Two weeks...

Greetings! Two weeks from today, I'll be boarding a plane for the long ride to Thailand. I can hardly believe that it is almost time to go. I still can't believe how blessed I am to have this opportunity! I want to send my deepest thanks to so many people for making this all possible.

This is my first blog ever, so be patient with me as I figure it out. I'm looking forward to writing and posting pictures to keep everybody updated on my summer!
