So Soon? / 08.25.09, 11:12 AM

Hey ya’ll!

I figured since I’m moving down south I’d give ya’ll a try…it still seems unnatural. Well here I am, la couple days away from packing up a portion of my belongings and moving into the unknown world of Atlanta, Georgia.

Here are some new things I know: my team mates. Kelly Cefalu is our team leader. Then there’s Rachael Sandhagen-Turner, Kimberly Rixon, Andrew Elledge, Joseph Givens, and me. We’ve been communicating on facebook and are all excited.

What I’m most excited about besides meeting the people I’ll be living with this year is seeing the whole MY family together in Atlanta in the beginning of September. It’s so amazing to see how God used all of our different pasts to bring us to this same spot, and meeting everyone that I’ve been building a relationship with since March will be awesome!

My prayer requests in these last couple weeks are that I can finish strong. My to-do list is intimidating, and I’m worried about getting it all finished in time. Also, that I pack sensibly and don’t bring things I don’t need.

Thanks for reading and going on this adventure with me!

In Christ,
Chelsea Edwards

  1. Chelsea… By this time you are busy – busy – busy in Atlanta. There was soooo much activity all around your house on Thursday – the man across the street, sitting outside with his guitar – the little boy riding his bike back and forth – the little girls on your porch. And so it begins – a journey of faith, courage and love. We are soooo very proud of you. Know that you will be in my prayers daily.

    in His love, jane

  3. Hi! Good luck on your move! Take it as a chance to widen your horizons and meet new friends. I was also apprehensive about my move a couple of months ago, but now I am happy where I am.

  4. I am so excited that you are there now. I wish I could be there to see what you are seeing and learn what you are learning. I love you and already miss you, especially here at school. But we are the masters at distance so expect my letters. :)
