Hello!
Just testing out my new blog for when I leave for Klaipeda, Lithuania in 9 days! By and large, I'm excited, with the occasional worry. I've started to pack and am just thinking the whole time, "How in the world do I pack for 4 months?" :)
My intention is for weekly updates, but I'll also be keeping a hand-written journal. The upside to this is that I can type much faster than I can write!
This last week will be filled with packing/getting last minute things, finishing up work at CCDC by Wednesday, and enjoying time with friends and family, including my grandparents' 63rd wedding anniversary next weekend. :)
Lastly, God has been so good to me. I have heard nothing but encouragement for this trip and I thank you for all your prayers! This week I saw this quote: worrying is like rocking in a rocking chair-- it gives you something to do but gets you nowhere. Too often I worry and it does NOTHING. It does no good and I wonder why I waste my time all the time! Proverbs 1:33 says, "but whoever listens to Me will live in safety and at ease, without fear of harm." With God I can put aside my worries and trust that I will be taken care of.

It sounds like this trip is exactly where God wants you to be, Heidi. I'm sure he will reveal himself to you in completely new ways through this trip. I'll be praying for you... Love you!
