Lots of First

So I found out that I will be going to the great state of Oklahoma this summer, as a missionary. (O.K.L.A.H.O.M.A.- heard the joke and said it myself). Antyways, as I was thinking about it after the initial shock wore off, I got to thinking about how many new things I will be doing. Let's list a few shall we!

1. Flying. For the very FIRST time.  This whole concept just scares me, but I am pretty excited.
2. Being away from HOME for a long amount of time. For those of you who know me, I get terribly homesick after not being able to go home for more than three weeks. 
3. Serving in the way God wants me to. I have always wanted to be a missionary, but I made up a lot of excuses as to why I shouldn't or why I thought I couldn't. (Later on to find out they were all just excuses and not legitimate reasons). 
4. And last but not least, leaving a fantastic SUPPORTING boyfriend at home, while I do what I feel like God has called me to do. 

I am very excited to see what God has in store for me. What will he teach me? What will I teach others about Him? How will loved ones feel about what I am doing? Will it impact them in a positive way? These are just many thoughts that have been going through my head as I wind down from the excitement of becoming a summer missionary. 

Those are just my final thoughts for the day! Hope you guys sleep well and maybe can compile a list of your own "First" that God is calling you to do.
