Pre San Francisco Life... and without Savanna

So this is my first time to ever write a blog in my life... we will see how this goes. We set up (Savanna and I) this blog so that our supporters could keep tabs on us and so that this blog could remind people for their needed prayer support during the next six months of our lives. Our session of the DTS also sets up a blog, it is more of a this is what we did/saw and who taught this week, and we wanted to do one that was more personal than general (so now you can check both..yayyyy).
We are six days away from embarking on probably one of the greatest adventures of our lives and I honestly have no idea what to expect. Leaving will be much harder than I thought it was going to be...regardless I am still so incredibly excited about what Jesus is going to show me about Himself and also about myself. My spiritual life has been somewhat stagnent the past two months and I am in great need of some revival. This blog is also a place where I do not want to put up any false pretenses or try to pretend like my life is in a place where it is not... so you will be seeing some brutal honesty here as well. As of now Savanna and I still haven't ever met face to face but we have been talking, praying for/with, and supporting one another for about 3 or 4 months now as we both have been preparing to leave. Savanna lives in Seattle and I in Dallas. We have come to find that we both have had the exact same struggles at the exact same time the past few months which we both think is extremely weird yet not without purpose. She has been a huge blessing in my life and I am so excited to see how Jesus will continue to make our friendship grow and how He will use our bond for His glory! There is so much more that I want to write but I won't. For now I will leave it just as this... not knowing what to expect but so excited for all of the changes that I know are quickly approaching. Bye Bye Dallas...Bye Bye Seattle, we will see you in half a year! The following quote does not really apply to my post, i just really like it :)

“Imagine how much a man’s life would be changed if he trusted that he was loved by God? … He could give up on formulaic religion, knowing checking stuff off a spiritual to-do list was a worthless pursuit, he would have confidence and the ability to laugh at himself, and he could love people without expecting anything in return. It would be quite beautiful, really.” –Don Miller

P.S. Sav and I will make this page more appealing (she's an amazing photographer) once we are together... but this is what you get just for now!
