Teatime with Sarah and Mr. Tumnus

It seems weird that I only have 3 more weekends before I leave for London. I must be the slowest person around because it still hasn't hit me that I am going. Sometimes before I start a new journey my mind floods with either the really great things that lay on the road ahead or just worrisome fears that might come to be or prevent me from going after the very things that Jesus wants me to have. Of the latter I really don't know which is worse. Anyways I really don't feel like overanalyzing my feelings on this blog post.

Woke up this morning and went to church with my dad. Pastor Balmer talked about how forgiveness for mankind comes through the blood of Jesus Christ. He connected this with the Passover that took place in Exodus 12. At first this didn't feel like anything I was unaware of or something that I needed to be reminded of, but as I silenced my own voice and actually listened to the words God broke through. There are still many areas of my life that I refuse to let be forgiven, which is completely demented as my cousin Shane would say. However, as this message revealed to me God wants all the areas of my life because He can heal them. The one thing I know about this upcoming semester in London is that God will move mountains in my life and I really feel they will be the mountains I built up thinking they would preserve me and bring me closer to God when in actuality they have been blocking me from Him and all He wants for me. Right now the most awesome thing is I have no predetermined mindset of what I want London to be for me. It can truly be a journey devoted to Christ and what He wants to unveil to me. If you are a Christ follower and you are reading this blog please keep me in prayer as I go overseas. I am so excited about the journey, and just as I know there will be incredible highs I know there will be low points. Please pray that no matter what comes my way my focus, heart, and feet rely on Christ's direction and continue to apply His ways as my own ways. As long as Christ accompanies me on this trip I know that I have everything I could ever need.
