The Time Has Come!

The time has come to say goodbye! I just got back from the first night of Music Camp and saying goodbye to most of my friends! I'm glad I got to spend a little time at music camp and see a lot of my friends from out of town! Now here I am packed and ready to go to Ethiopia... TOMORROW! Well, I will be leaving for Washington D.C. early tomorrow, but I fly out the next morning for Ethiopia! That is still so crazy to think about! I'm still trying to wrap my mind around it! I mean: Who just off and leaves the country for 3-4 months?!?! Supposedly me! Lol! I've always dreaming and wished to travel around the world, but I never expected Ethiopia would be the first place I'd go! I'm excited to see how everything goes. I hope and pray I can be a true blessing to the Fussners! I ask you to please do the same! 
A couple people have asked if I am going to blog about my missions trip, I am hoping to keep all of you updated! Krystal told me I may be able to once a month or so. I will try my best! :) Please try to keep me updated on everything that happens while I'm gone! 
I will miss everyone so much! I've already been so blessed by this chance! People have shown me so much love and have given me so many promises to pray for me and good wishes for my trip! I will be honest, I'm not a very lovey-dovey or emotional person, but it is awesome to see how much and how many people care about me! Not to be depressing or anything , but there was a time in my life when I didn't think there was many people that did. But that was definitely at least partially my fault. I had barricaded myself away to keep from getting hurt, but not having any close relationships hurts on its own. I had just gotten so tired of people failing and causing me and my family and friends to get hurt. Now I know that when I have actually opened up to people, they start opening up to me as well! Who would've thought?!?! Lol That is one of the best feelings ever! UCA has opened my eyes to how important friendships are! GOD has put so many great people in my life! I'm just starting to notice. I am so blessed! 
Well, I won't go on too much longer but I would like to thank Cornerstone for giving me this chance! In my opinion, Cornerstone is the best church in the world, I maybe a little prejudiced... But I truly believe if I spent my whole life looking I would never find a church that could even compare to my church family! I love you guys and again, sincerely, Thank you!
