Overwhelming stress

only about $2,000 more to raise! if you know anyone who would like to give, i would definitely be interested! thanks!

17 days until i leave and i'm overwhelmed about everything that i have to do.

i know my parents are trying to be helpful, and i thank them so much for that, but at times i can't help but to think they are making my life more difficult. once i think i'm good and checking off some items on my long list, they add more that i had forgotten. gah! i don't deal with stress well, but i'm trying to do the best i can.

what i have noticed is in trying to get everything done to go and be an ambassador for Christ.... i've lost my routine in praying regularly and reading my bible. it's as if i think i can wait until i get over there because i have so much going on right now.. when really this is the most important time to be praying and focusing on Him. so, as i have realized this now... i'm trying to work on it and trying to get my heart in the right place before i leave.

on a happier note, my mom and grandmother have bought tickets to come visit me in italy for a week or so. i believe they are coming at the end of september through the 7th of october. i'm excited about it, and i know by that time i will be wanting to see them.

well, i think that's all for now.... i will try to start getting on a routine of updating this more often as well.
