a little different this time

Everything about this trip has been a little different from the beginning, so I feel inclined to take a different approach to blogging about it too. Rather than the simple day by day ~ play by play rundown I've usually given, I feel the overwhelming urge to be honest with myself and include my raw, uncensored thoughts. I do believe God used my dearest friends to get me out here this time for a reason. He has a plan for me. I can't claim to know that plan, but I want to be able to look back on these trying times and remember how it feels so I can ALWAYS be thankful. I know that life can change drastically from one day or even one hour to the next. The outcomes I am staring at this week could be radically different next week, but that's okay. The important thing is that I'm on board again! I'm back in the game and I am ready to fight. I'm ready to do what I need to do, whether it's a little different or a whole lot different....
