Italy

I will be embarking on one of the biggest journeys of my life so far in less than two days. I am blessed with the opportunity to go to Italy for a study abroad program. I will be going for three weeks with 20 people who were strangers, some still are, only weeks ago. I am looking forward to what God is going to do over then next three weeks. I am challenged already to Trust in Him completely not only with nursing school applications, living situations for next year in chico, and what is going to happen next. I know that within these next few days I will be challenged more than I ever thought I would be. Challenged spiritually, emotionally, physically, and relationally. I have noticed all of the close friends I have who care enough to call me and talk before I leave, who want to get together with me and who send messages of all kinds before thursday night. When the clock strikes 3 I will be driving to the sacramento airport, saying goodbye to my family, loading a plane and flying half way across the world. Amazing. I am so excited. We will be spending the first week in Rome... we are learning conversational italian and humanities of the italian culture. 6 units within three weeks, any student knows that's crazy and by the way try to enjoy the scenery at the same time. Life is beautiful, fun, overly enjoyable, hard, challenging, and so worth every heartache, pain, struggle, discontentment and difficult decision. I will over the next few weeks try to post a few pictures of Italy and comment about the journey so far. So to those who do read you will be updated on the latest with my life through this site. Desire every day to be desired, love everyday because you are loved, be happy with the life that you are blessed with, and fulfill your dreams because no one else will do it for you.
