God didn't just open the window...He blew up the building...

So, its official…i am going to Mongolia…my parents called with the incredible news on Sunday…i remained collected on the phone, but i lost it afterwards…i think the tears were a good thing. Less than an hour later, I had already submitted my application online and made a down payment. Isn’t it weird how payment makes things so much more real?? i keep finding myself attempting to completely drown my brain with the idea of really being in mongolia…it’s amazing how right this feels…its like a comforting stomach-flipping feeling…that doesn’t sound that great…but trust me it is…

Now comes all the paperwork…visas, insurance, passports…and lots of reading and preparation. Thankfully, I will not be alone in any of this. Ashley Brown is my partner in crime…hopefully, we will be able to help each other out in our weak moments…yay team…

I have to admit, i never ever thought this would happen…I don’t even think i fully comprehend what God just did…I think that i just expected my parents to become more accustomed to the idea of me going abroad…but actually letting me go was a thought i didn’t let my mind wander to…i thought He would just show me a crack in the window…but He blew the place up…and i am beyond thankful…parents, thank you for loving and trusting me enough to let me go…i really was just happy ya’ll took me seriously…but getting the “ok” was so encouraging…i know that my parents and the rest of my family are going to worry…but i pray that all of you will put most of that aside, and become excited for what the world has in store for me…because i know i am and i want to share in that…

so, i most likely won’t be updating this anytime soon…i was just that eager to get things rolling…and having a blog just makes me feel like i really am going…not just paying some person a million miles away…i will be praying for the Lord to ready all of me…i know i will be challenged in every way possible…i know it will be hard…but i know it will be worth it…

and for those of you who have no idea where mongolia is...
