I'M OFFICIALLY CLEARED TO TRAVEL!

After one final run-around from the health clinic, I have gotten the A-OK to travel to China in 10 DAYS!
So relieved and excited and anxious to see where God takes me spiritually on this trip! I AM SO EXCITED. The countdown has officially begun.

Also, today marks 1 1/2 years until our wedding date. It makes everything feel so much more real. This is crazy exciting, but also pretty nervewracking as well, seeing as how there are a TON of things to prepare for! And I'm not even talking about the wedding. That's the LEAST of my worries. I'm concerned more about that part after the wedding is over. You know, LIFE? Yeah. But I know everything will work out in God's time and in the way that He has planned for us. :)

On a somber note, I want to express my sincere condolences to my friend Sonja and her family. Their sweet little baby, Jaxxon, passed from this earth suddenly on Tuesday. I can only imagine he was an angel too perfect for this damaged world. Sonja, Nelson, and big brother Connor will always have a special angel to look down on them from this day forward. May the Lord walk with them and comfort them during this time of unimaginable grief.
