13 days

What's going on in my life: In 13 days I will leave for the adventure of a lifetime.  I will be studying abroad in Costa Rica.  I have not posted much this summer because I have been working two jobs, but I want to post while I am abroad.  I want to capture moments, memories and stories for friends and family to read.  Going abroad is not just an experience for me, it is an experience for those that I share life with as well. 

What I'm thinking about: I follow Jefferson Bethke on Twitter, and I just discovered that he has a blog.  His last post was about giving God glory no matter where you are...God puts people exactly where they need to be.  It made me feel content about being in Costa Rica.  It is exactly where I am supposed to be in this season of my life. 

What I'm listening to: Home by Phillip Phillips.  I was obsessed with watching the Olympics, and this was the song they played while talking about the gymnastics portion of the games.  The lyrics go along perfectly with the next chapter of my life. 

"As we roll down this unfamiliar road
And although this wave is stringing us along
Just know you’re not alone
Cause I’m going to make this place your home

Settle down, it'll all be clear
Don't pay no mind to the demons
They fill you with fear
The trouble it might drag you down
If you get lost, you can always be found

Just know you’re not alone
Cause I’m going to make this place your home."

This is a picture of my new home.
