The Countdown Continues

25 days left!

I'm excited, nervous, and any other emotion that you can think of. I feel like there's so much to do, but I can't think of it all. So many questions are unanswered, which doesn't help, but I'm at the point where I'm starting to just wish it was time to go.

I think I have my car sold. That happened really fast. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with just one car between my wife and I, but I think we will work it out. I guess I'm just glad to have that out of the way. I can now use that to pay for uniforms and equipment.

I've wondered whether this is exactly what I'm supposed to be doing, even though it's always been a dream. Then, I figure, God is putting me where he wants me, when he wants me there. Therefore, who am I to question it?

I've met someone who's going down at the same time, and for the same job. We're going to ride down together, and I think that will be awesome. It will be really nice to go in already knowing someone. That should relieve some stress and help with the beginning of training.

Until then, I just keep on trucking, doing what I'm doing, counting down!

I'm not looking forward to months without church. I'm not sure if we have the option to go on Sunday or not. That's just another one of the many questions going unanswered. Therefore, one of my big hopes of this blog is that I can give future BOTrainees some insight as well as relieve some nerves and answer some questions.

God's going to make this an awesome journey, and he's helping with my trust and patience right now. I think that this is what he's going to use to help me be a better person in at least those two regards. God bless!
