Welcome to my blog!! :-)

Hello family and friends (who are hopefully the only people reading this)!! I'm so glad that I'll be able to communicate with you in this way and keep you updted on my life! This is my first ever blog and I don't really ever read them, so bear with me as I stumble through the whole thing.

So. I'm leaving for France tomorrow. It's going to be epic. I'm really excited and really scared at the same time. Two pretty similar bible verses have been getting me through. The first was in my uncle's church's sermon yesterday, Philippians 3:12 (13 and 14 aren't bad either), and then Hebrews 12:1 is the same. They're both inspiring messages, encouraging me to press on through any obstacle, and I know I can.

It's time to pack, but I want to thank my family and friends for being so supportive of this journey. I hope to be able to keep in touch with all of you as much as I can, and I'll miss you all so much!
