Tomorrow I leave Connecticut.

Wow.

And today, for the first time really, I got scared. There's just so much unknown right now. It makes me ache for familiarity.

When I step back, I know that I am really really excited about being a PA and moving to Hawaii. But today, when I packed my cookie sheets in a box destined for Goodwill, I lost it. Yes, I cried over cookie sheets. I think more because of what they represented... a piece of the familiar... (and a piece of the almost entire kitchen that I gave away to Goodwill).

So, for tonight I focus on what I'm thankful for:

- A wonderful phone call with my dear friend Erin, filled with wisdom and discernment and clarity

- My mom flying into Connecticut to help me pack, clean my apartment and travel to Texas

- A new pair of blue, polka dot PJ pants with a pink ribbon and a pink Y near the hip. (yes, I splurged and bought Yale PJ pants... totally cute... totally worth it)

- Kelsey... how I'm going to function without seeing this girl at least weekly if not more, is beyond me. I've been staying at her place for the past couple of days, and it's been like a constant sleep over. Chatting late into the night.

- Sweet words of truth from my beautiful Michaiah (keep in mind, she's 3... and today she spoke a phenomenal amount of truth into my 27 year old heart) "Jesus lives in your heart and he is helping you. He lives in your heart forever."

That is beauty.
