Butterflies

I'm not gonna lie. I'm totally freaking out right now. I just bought my ticket from London to Rome, and I have less than two weeks until I fly out. 11 days until the 22nd. WOW, so much to do in so little time. I've been planning this trip in my mind since 2nd semester of my freshman year. The itinerary of the trip has changed countless times. Originally, I wanted to go to France. Then somehow the idea of traveling all over Europe formulated itself in my head, and I did not dispel the idea until my friend told me she would not be able to go with me to Europe. I then concluded that traveling all by myself all over Europe would not be wise.

A) My mother would never allow it
B) I'm only 19
C) Traveling by myself for that long would just get old.

So I "settled" for Italy. In reality, I wasn't really settling at all. I am just following God. Honestly, understanding and following God's will is a process that takes lots and lots of prayer. One day last week I started thinking "I didn't pray enough about this." Thankfully as soon as the thought crossed my mind God reminded me that I did pray. I prayed a ton about this trip, and thankfully I have black and white proof [well to be honest, I have been known to write in different colors but you get the picture ;) ]. I'm overwhelmed by the greatness of my God. He has given me peace about going. On days like these, He reminds me how great He is and how I am nothing.
