In seven days I will be standing on Italian soil. I can hardly believe the thoughts in my head. I will live in a little hotel owned by two Italian brothers in the heart of Florence, Italy. I am one of thirty IU students taking classes May 8th- June 17th, studying Italian I and the history of Florence in the Renaissance. June 17th-27th is a time set aside for traveling with my mother. Thoughts and emotions flood my mind and heart as I prepare to leave. I struggle to study for finals, finish my CA tasks, and continue to pack when all I truly desire to do is open my books about Europe and begin to plan my journey!
I am trembling with anticipation, praying for wisdom and focus. I am also grateful that God has blessed me with this opportunity to create and experience (to be and see) Love in this world beyond America.
I am so thankful for my friends and family with the constant support you have shown me. This blog is intended to share my eyes and heart with yours.
