One person can't feel all that- they'd explode!

Do you ever feel like there are just so many emotions going on inside you you're going to explode?

Eleven days from now I will be on the road... and I am SO excited to get to Ohio and see Mom and Dad and Grandpa and Grandma. And then two days and on to Missourri.

I'm ... I don't know what I am. I'm tired of packing. I can't wait to see my car all filled up and ready to go. I know I'm going to miss Grandmom and Jessi and Buddy- and all you guys at Thrive- especially my small group. I'm so excited to meet the people God's going to bring into my life in just a few weeks! I'm so exhausted my pillow is calling for me every minute. I want to be with my friends all the time, I just want to be by myself and try to process everything that's going on. I'm going to miss the people at work- I am so glad I won't have to deal with temper tantrums again for a while. Periodically I just get so overwhelmed I just don't want to think about it at all.

When I get overwhelmed by it all I start to either feel discouraged, or (more likely) just not think about it at all. God is so sweet to me- whenever that happens, He sends me some amazing encouragement. Today it was from an amazing friend of Grandmom's- her name is Doris Bowman, and she has lived an amazing, insane life of following Jesus. We only talked for a few minutes... but she told me a few quick stories of when God first started to call her- and it was wow. So encouraging. Exactly what I needed. God is so wonderful. Whatever do people do without Him?
