New Beginnings

Hello friends and family and everyone! (Who am I kidding, my mom is probably the only one reading this. Anyway, I'll just pretend I'm writing to lots of people who are super interested in my life). 

   I am currently sitting in the large Chicago airport patiently waiting through my long layover to Manchester! HOLLER. It might seem pointless for me to write this post because I have not actually done anything or gone really that far from home. Regardless, I'm bored and I have stuff to say. 

    About 8 months ago, I was accepted into the YWAM Discipleship Training School in Wales; and pretty much since then, I have been working very hard (debatable) to raise the money to pay for the tuition. My million dollar fundraising idea was to sell infinity scarves. That worked awesome for about 2 months, and then I wanted to set all the scarves and my sewing machine on fire because it got a little overwhelming. HOWEVER, I have the world's greatest mother (second shout out, Mom) and she kinda pushed/dragged me through the process. I sold close to 200 scarves which is totally nuts. I sold on Etsy, Facebook, at local banks, at PEO meetings, and at my church. I also have some pretty dang amazing people in my life that really helped support and fund my trip. 

    So here I am in this lovely food court, only by the grace of God, with hands shaking from excitement (probably nerves). My journey has not really begun, but it sorta kinda has because I had to say goodbye to everyone I love. I will arrive in Manchester at 8 am their time and from there only God knows. God has blessed me with such an awesome life, and I am confident He will be holding my shaking, sweaty hand as I continue on. 

Peace and Blessin's y'all.
