Bout to Be Out!

...In abouuuut 12 hours! I'm getting more and more excited as the time gets closer...but still not OD EXCITED. I'm one of those people who saves all those emotions for when the time actually comes. I dunno...no need to get too hype too early - it makes the time come THAT much slower.

I'm actually sitting under the hair dryer now. Three things I MUST do before I go ANYWHERE (and by "anywhere" I mean somewhere that requires me to pack before departure): 1) Wash my hair #check! 2) Shave #check! and 3) Repaint my toes :) - The last time I painted my fingernails was when I graduated from high school 2 years ago - unless you want to count clear polish, which I did for a formal dance. I really just love the simple elegance that my hands exude haha. Oh and I have to make sure my space is tidy...but it's never really messy, so I don't count that.

I've been wearing my crush orange polish on my toes  for a minute now. Maybe it's time for a change? I'm not one to change my nail color often - but I am sure that they stay painted. Even in the winter time. Hmm, well since our #team shirts are orange, I'm going to stick with orange for this trip. It'll be cute to match my shirt the first day! But #dontgetittwisted, I'm not a prissy princess. I'll go to work in the heat and sweat in the oldest clothes I own with a smile on my face.

Oh, yes, where am I going? ENSENADA, MEXICO!

Oh, yes, where am I going? ENSENADA, MEXICO!

On a mission trip with my church (Dad's coming, too). I'll be there for one week - serving God by serving others. I really have a passion for giving and serving. This will be my first of hopefully many missions to come, and I have no doubt that I will have an amazing experience there.

This is also super exciting because I haven't been out of the country since I got here in 19...96, 97? I love my country, but it's about time that I stepped on some non-American soil again.

Thankfully, the bag I'm checking is already packed and at the church. I'm glad they have us bring those in a couple days early...'cause I know me. I'm not new to this flying game by any means; I'll start packing 30 minutes before it's time to roll out if you let me #itneverfails. I do still have to pack my carry-on though and make a quick trip to Walmart, but no biggie.

I'm ready to be used and made brand new. <- It makes sense; trust me.

Please be praying for us as we embark on #Godsmission!

"To the last, to the lost, to the least of these...let us be Jesus today."
