Spain Jitters

Spain countdown: 64 days until I leave.

The closer Spain gets the more I'm beginning to think that I am absolutely insane for taking this trip. I've never spent more than a week away from home. I haven't shared a room in... years. I've never traveled outside the U.S. in my life. I am no where near fluent in Spanish. My classes will be conducted mostly in Spanish and the grades will transfer to my transcript here at home. I hardly know the people that I'm traveling with. I'm horrible about laughing at my mistakes and learning from them quickly; I'd rather pout. Am I crazy for putting myself in this situation... and my traveling companions? I feel sorry for them most of all.

Seriously, I'm getting really really REALLY scared.

Start praying now, because I'm going to have to go through some crazy tough life lessons and personality conflicts in a foreign country that doesn't speak English with people I hardly know. I'm going to need a lot of strength and flexibility from above and understanding and forgiveness from my travel companions.

I am ready

I am ready

To become myself 

Once more.

Let go.

Forgive myself;

Head held high.

Step into a glorious future;

Take on

What God has in store.

Bring it.

I am ready.
