It crazy to think that tomorrow is the day before I leave.
24 hours.
24 hours.
1,440 minutes.
86,400 seconds.
That is what is standing in between me and a plane.
A plane that is going to take me to a place that can change me.
Change me in a good way...
or a bad way if I let it.
I have chosen to submerge myself in a world that is completely not of my own.
A world of black suits, and elections.
Of hard stone buildings and hard hearts.
A world outside the protection of my family and friends who love me and help me when I fall.
As the seconds, minutes, and hours fall away, slowly but surely does my confidence falls too.
Anxiety and fear have begun to creep in.
I'm leaving Alabama, my home.
The place where I grew up and where everything is comfortable.
I'm going to Washington DC, a foreign territory.
The place where I'm going to have to deal with things I never have before.
So I will submerge myself.
Take a breathe and jump.
Surround myself in the peace of God.
"For I can do ALL things, through CHRIST who strengthens me!"
