Time Gets Shorter

Wow, I have a little under 3 months to go until I am headed for Hawaii. It's pretty crazy to think about how fast time has flown, and how much faster it will fly from now til I leave. I am getting a little nervous honestly. Not the kind of nervous that's an erased peace in my spirit, just so unsure of the future... but excitement definitely outweighs the nerves. I think most of all I'm so unsure of how I will do with missing home. I believe that whatever the Lord calls you to do, He will also bless you with grace and favor, which I hold on tight to... it's still a bit strange though.
I am not sure if most of you know, but I am planning on staying for 2 years. Doing the 6months of my DTS, and then staying for another year and a half doing "Around The World" track, which will entail me getting my associates in photography while traveling around the world with a group of students. I am not 100% sure about the extra year and a half, but it is my plan as of right now.
It's kind of amazing to think about how incredible the Lord is, how He created everything, knows all things... He is in ALL good. And then to think about me. And how I don't see my self as much, but He takes so much pride in me... and wants my heart to be full, to be happy, and to live an extravagant life... and so He's created this plan for me, that totally exceeds anything I could ever plan for myself. And now, I am beginning that journey, or rather walking into the fullness of the destiny He has created for me - and I believe as long as I am following Him, that journey will continue on forever. Jesus is ridiculous, I am learning that more and more. I like it a lot.
Recently the Lord has really been pouring patience and faith into me, mostly regarding the provision for this trip. So I ask that those of you reading this will also believe with me, and pray if the Lord puts it on your heart that all of that will come to pass. I have no doubt that it will.

As things get closer I will be updating this more, and then when I am in Hawaii I'll try my hardest to update this blog as much as possible.

For those of you in the area, I am having a Benefit Concert at River Life Fellowship (in Mooresville, NC) on March 5th - 7:30pm. My brothers band Love Colt will be headlining, and Jacob Early will be opening up for them. It's gonna be a really fun night with awesome music and snacks and all that. I would absolutely love it if you could make it out!!

God bless everyone :)
