Good bye Columbia

In a few hours I will be waking up and saying goodbye to Columbia for two months and will be traveling to Florida. Part of me is sad to leave all the comfort of being in Columbia, but most of me is excited for a fresh start in Cocoa with working with an organization I care about and believe in so deeply. It's 12:30 and I'm exhausted, but have a few more things to do before sleeping. Thank God that there is coffee to be had in the morning with one of the best people in the world and that hopefully by 6:00 I'll be "home" with my parents and brother and cat; it will be amazing. With all the craziness that has happened in my preparation for this internship, I am so thankful that I have received many prayers and that God has helped me get through the rough spells when I thought there was no way for me to actually go through with this amazing opportunity. Over the past few weeks it's been cool to see God working through all the craziness and He has shown me that I am loved by those who are close to me and even those who there may be distance. Looking back on the few instances where I've felt unloveable after experiencing such love recently makes me think, "WHY DO I DOUBT THE LOVE OF YOUR CHILDREN GOD?"

That's all for now. I've got to shower, wash dishes, pack a few more things into the car and sleep. GOD IS USING THIS LIFE FOR FAR BETTER THINGS THAN I WOULD HAVE CHOSEN TO USE IT FOR AND I'M SO THANKFUL.
