BC eggs

in one short hour I will be heading off to the airport and getting on the plane that will take me to my home for the next 5 months. Up until now this trip has been something that has always been just a future thought, it was always on my mind and yet never really processed as real. It still isn't completely real. As I sit on my bed eating some eggs and staring at my packed bag laying just 2 feet from me, it still just feels like I'm going away for the weekend or something.
I'm taking in the smells, the sights and sounds of my house and Langley, just to hold onto them while I'm gone. I know I'm not leaving forever, and that once I get there 5 months is going to fly by, but I will still miss this.
But this trip is going to be amazing, and I know I will grow so much and I look forward to that. to the unknown as scary as it is. I'm excited for it.
For now, i'm going to finish my eggs and spend my last 45 min with my family. But I want to leave with you one final quote that a dear friend of mine gave me.
"as the great sculptor Michelangelo was creating his masterpiece 'the David', he was asked, how did you know where to sculpt? He replied, I just chipped away anything that didn't look like David. Simple as that."
I'm ready to have God chip away my unwanted so I look more like who He sees me to be.
