So I leave in 6 days.
Over the last few years, I've always been adventurous. I never understood people who weren't. However, as of late, I can relate a little better. This move is a lot more daunting than I had thought it would be. I am already missing Omaha more than I had ever thought possible. In my mind, for years, I associated staying in Omaha with failure. Mostly because I saw that if I stayed here, I would probably never live out my dreams. I don't see it that way anymore. I really like this place I call home.
But I guess it's time. And while I'm pretty down about leaving, I am excited to see what God has for me when I get to Scotland. I intend on taking this whole school thing seriously; because I'm basically preparing for the rest of my life. This is all very scary. But I look back at the overwhelming majority of change in my life, I can see that most of it wasn't that bad. In fact, a lot of it was very good change. Frightening, and tough at first, but good. So, I guess I'm going to college. Here goes nothing.

mark, you have no idea how encouraging this was to me. i know exactly what you're going through (sort of... nashville is almost as far as scotland, isn't it?) and seeing you take this giant step of faith is a challenge to me in my own life to not sell myself short, or God. like you said, change is tough at first, but if we trust God to reveal things at His pace, the change is ultimately good. know that you are being prayed for. best of luck with the move and your first semester of college. christmas break will be here before you know it, and then i shall see your smiling, hopefully hairy, face again.
