And It HAS BEGUN!!!!

I am only thirty minutes shy of boarding the plane and all I can think about is how sore my behind will be tomorrow when I land in Costa Rica! But what also invades my mind is the love of those who helped bring me to this place not only physically, but mentally and spiritually.  I am struck that even though I am boarding the plane alone, for one of the first times in my life I do not feel alone.  I feel 360 degrees of love. I know that as I begin this journey it will not come without it bumps, battles, scrapes and bruises but more importantly for me it comes with a soft place to land regardless of the outcome.  So as I prepare my mind and heart for this next stage of spiritual growing and maturing I am grateful, for my community.  A community that loves me so much they let me go!!
And I pray that I will be able to love as hard, as furious as those who have loved me bring me to this place in my life. Thank you friends, thank you family for allowing me to be me, thank you for listening to me and for hearing me!
I love you!!
Now enough for all the sappy stuff! I am excited to see how my limbs will be shaken and how the Lord shows up......I will update as much as possible so keep checking back! Ready or Not HERE I COME!!!
