Plane Ticket

I am officially leaving September 18th and arriving September 21. Yea I know that looks really odd. I do have 31 hours of travel time which is odd. The only ticket I could get for the week that I want to leave is that way and I have 12 hour layover in Sydney. Thankfully one of my high school girls that graduated last year is currently living in Sydney so I am hoping to be able to spend those 12 hours with her :)

I can't believe how quickly this day is coming! I am excited and terrified all at the same time. Leave what I know and what I am comfortable with and going somewhere totally foreign and where I don't know anyone is really overwhelming at times. I just keep coming back to the verses the Lord has given me to confirm that this is where I am supposed to be.

Pray that they find somewhere for me to live in NZ.

The day is quickly approaching

Now that I am less than a month away from leaving I will begin posting a little more frequently. I still have not bought my plane ticket as we had a death in the family and I may be changing my exact departure date depending on when we are going to be able to do the memorial service.

I am getting very excited and sad all at the same time. I have been working on making a packing list and working on saying goodbye to people. A few weeks ago I said goodbye to my good friend Kathleen as she is in northern California and I will not see her again before I leave. I love you Kath and I love all our phone dates.

Some things you can pray for...

Preparation details (getting my plane ticket, finding somewhere to live...)

Finances (I still have no idea how I am going to live but I know the Lord will provide and has already started to in little ways.)

Spiritual preparation

Saying goodbye (I hate goodbyes)
