packing?

hello reader! so today i am packing for the wonderful unknown that awaits me with my up and coming YWAM experience. someone asked me today if i'm nervous at all. after thinking for a moment and responding that i am nervous to leave my dear friends and family (you know who you are!), i realized what i'm most nervous about. funny enough, it's also the thing i'm most excited about: depending more fully on God my Father. here at home there is always someone to run to before i run to God. now, i understand that i still have my phone (thank God) and computer, so i really won't ever be "alone", not to mention i will be surrounded by others. but i will have to make friends all over again, by myself! and not seeing my everyday faces, i know will challenge me to run to God, because He will be the most familiar one in this new place. He will be the only on that goes with me. to be honest, i find myself a bit fearful at the thought. Lord, meet me here! this whole feeling makes me want to curl up in His arms and remember all the times He's comforted and saved me. the times when He brought me out and lifted me to higher ground. He truly is the higher rock, the only One who never fails. He is who i thought He was, and oh so much more. and while i'm nervous and a little scared of separating from everyone here in indy, i'm so excited to go to a new level with Him. i'm excited to be stretched so that i have no other option than to see Him in all His glory and power. to see that He is enough. oh, He's taking me somewhere alright, and we'll just have to wait and see what happens :]

Love, Erin
