Well, here I am, twenty days from departure, and still filled with that complete and total anxiety. I started a list of toiletries I'm going to have to buy at work the other day just to calm myself down. Seriously, I need to not be freaking out. The Lord has been so gracious in teaching me so much about trusting Him and finding peace in Him and now I just need to really actually let go of my anxieties. It kind of feels like I'm holding my breath in anticipation and I NEED to exhale and, well, not freak out. Especially considering the time that I have left is going to be so full. See?

AND I told Jamie that, because Ashley quit, I could maybe work the 18th and 20th if he needed someone to cover shifts. And I have my yearly portrait with myself and my sister and mom and then dinner on the 19th. And then the 22nd, I'm getting my hair trimmed and heading down to Champaign for the Koin/Strat retreat and then the 23rd is the end of the retreat and celebrating Paul and my two year and then the 24th will be church and heading back to Wheaton and Ecclesia (maybe?) and then the 25th will be last minute preparations and I leave the 26th!! As you can probably tell from my very long run-on sentence, it all seems very overwhelming. I think I might have to do like I did at school and ONLY look at THIS week and not look ahead at all.
Annnd.... now I need to get ready for the internship so... toodles!

You might "ONLY look at THIS week and not look ahead at all" ... this sounds very familiar, Anne. I remember you telling me the very same thing in SOCW when I started looking three weeks ahead! ;) It's very good advice and I think there really is too much for us to keep our minds focused on throughout the day let alone WEEKS in advance! Wherever we are headed, God has already been there before us. ;)
