Wow, a week and a half away from the big trip. I'm going to buy a laptop and camera this week. Also, I'll be making the final transfer for my england budget. 

Everything feels really surreal right now. I'm so excited for the big changes that I know will happen.

Not to say I'm doing nothing, exactly. I'm making money, I'm well on my way to the amount I budgeted for my trip. I'm in contact with people in England who can tell me what I need to pack and where I should go. 

What I really mean is that I'm not writing(except write now, ha!), not making music, not reading enough. I'm probably spending too much time on this computer. Dang. Thanks, computer!

Almost, but not quite.

I'm in a sort of stalled state waiting for england. This isn't the right approach to take at all. I should be preparing for it,  or at least doing something.

symbolism

I was praying for direction in my life while driving, and as I was doing so I ran over a frog. What does that mean?

Current events #1

I am going to England for a month. I would say "in November" but that seems redundant. I'm not sure why God decided to shake things up now, but he really did, and now I'm going to England. I love it. My whole family is being shaken up and I know great things are in store for us. I can function better now that I feel something is happening. It's horrible to think I spend 3 years in a rut, but now it's over. I feel like all those weights and the baggage I've had over the years are ready to come off and all i have to do is step through a door and say a few words. It's the greatest I've ever felt in a long time. I don't even want to remember my rut, I just want to move on to what I'm supposed to be doing. I feel focused, refreshed, and energized, as if everything had been set in motion for this very time. I'm not worried, but instead I feel as if I have the ability to focus, my eyes are clear, my head is level. So quickly everything is happening!
