604,800 Seconds

The count down has begun... you want to know what it is? Here you go:
604,800 seconds, which is 10,080 minutes, which is 168 hours, which is 7 Days, which is 1 week!!!!

I like the seconds look the best right now, it makes me feel like I have a lot more time here than I do. The Hours one, surprisingly makes it all worse, I know it's a lot of hours, but for some reason it seems like not that many to me.

A lot of people keep asking me how I am feeling about getting ready to make the move, and all I can keep saying is "weird". I have no bad feelings about moving. I am truly very excited, but it is always weird when I have to transplant my whole life. This will be the 11th time I have had to move in my life. I should be a pro at this right? In reality, it has just shown me in life that you have some friends that you will have for life, but then you have other's that you thought you would have for life, but then things just stop once you move.
That is the HARDEST part about moving. The part I hate the most. The part that can also be a lot of fun.

It is interesting to look at my surroundings here in Omaha and see my friends, friends that will be my friends for life, but also see how God is moving us all in different directions. It is just that part of life right now. People are graduating College, entering the real world and trying to figure life out outside of school, outside of the 9 month, 3 month schedule of life that we have been in since we were in preschool/kindergarten. More friends are getting married, other's are moving to continue their education, other's are just in a job hunt process hoping that God gives them clarification soon.

The early 20's is a hard time in life. It is a time in life that I am glad I am a Christian and have God to walk beside me through all the unsure, uneasy feelings that come along with trying to figure out what we want to do with our lives. I can't imagine making this big a move and not being involved in a church. I would be very depressed, because that is the place you make the connections with people and get connected to the community. If you aren't a Christian and don't go to church and make a big move, I can see how people get very depressed.

I am very thankful for the church body in big move situations. We are excited to get to GJ, but very sad to leave our friends, even though we know we are all heading in different directions in the next couple months.

So the count down has started... The count down of lasts... The countdown to firsts.
