A Surreal Day

Hi Everyone! Thank you so much for following my blog while I am in Iceland. Truly, each one of you are traveling with me in my heart. As I write this post, I am in disbelief. I can't believe that I will be in Iceland in a day. Iceland!! Today has been so surreal. I keep having to remind myself that I leave tomorrow to be gone for a month. It feels like I am just leaving to go to summer camp or Mexico, but this experience will be nothing like anything I have experienced before. I feel so excited, but I sure do feel the butterflies in my stomach!
So, I know you are wondering why Iceland? Well, it seems like yesterday I was sitting in the freshman study abroad info session. I had my mind made up that I was going to do the UK tour. I quickly found out that God had different plans-amazing plans! One night I was spending time with my Friend Courtney and she proceeded to tell me all about her trip to Iceland. I was amazed by the beauty of the country, the things they studied, and the program itself. Most of all though, I was astounded by the love and passion Courtney had for Iceland. At that moment, I knew I too wanted to experience the beauty and love of Iceland.
So, why did I name my blog "Be still and know?" The moment I saw pictures of Iceland, I immediatley thought of Psalm 46:10. This verse will be very close to my heart while I am in Iceland. I am praying that I will grow so much closer to God through this experience. When I look at the beautiful creation of Iceland, I can't help but praise God. Please pray that God will shine through me, so I might share His love with the friends and people I will meet.
Whew, I am sorry I am writing so much. My heart is racing :) My plane leaves tomorrow at 11:10 am for Boston. Then we have a layover in Boston and depart for Iceland at 9:30 pm. We will arrive in Reykjavik at 6:30 am. Final destination: Skálholt!! My address will be Michelle Cox email me: michelleleecox@gmail.com
