getting ready

well I have been trying to get ready to leave. but it is quite hard... to be honest I am not used to thinking 3 months in advance so I have really no idea what I will need. good to know there is a Walmart in Atlanta. I will be staying in an apartment with 4 to 7 other intern girls. this is what I am really looking forward to because I know I will make some close friends. we will be in charge of our own meals and such so that will also make things fun. cooking is no problem for me but I have never had to think of feeding only one person before! much of my time will be spent at the IHOP-Atlanta missions base, where we will take part in services and studies as well as spending many hours in the prayer room. my main goal is to develop an intemacy with God that will be a foundation for the rest of my life. I love the Lord with all my heart and I really want to come to a revelation of his love for me. my expectation is to be changed by Him and I know that He has so much He wants to do in me.

my time left at home is short... tomorrow is my last day here. it makes me sad to leave my family, I love them all so much. it will be so strange for me to be on my own because I am so used to being part of a unit. but I know it will be good for me although I am looking forward to being back here with them in December. I take so much joy in knowing that the Lord has a plan and all we have to do is follow Him. He will teach us and mold us into the person He has created us to be!
