744 hours.

One month. 31 days. 744 hours. 44,640 minutes. 2,678,400 seconds. One month until I am on my way to England. I didn't truly understand how close my trip actually was until I realized yesterday that today would make one month. When I think about how quickly 2013 went by, a month isn't long at all. I know that it will go by just as quick. 

Then I think about how much I haven't done. I haven't started to think about packing. I haven't signed up for airport pickup. I haven't made copies of my passport. The more I think about it, the more I start to panic. Then I remember that it will all be done in one month. It has to be done in one month. It will be okay. I'll get everything done. There is no need to panic (I'm good at that). 

The trip still doesn't feel real. I can't imagine what it will be like. I've never had an experience like this, so I can't expect to know how it will be. I have one month to figure it out, but I honestly don't think that will happen. I will go over there with a lot of unknowns, but I need to remind myself that everything will fall into place. Even if it means a little confusion at the beginning. 

I know that in one month, my life will change forever. But I also know that if I follow my Savior Jesus Christ, He will keep me safe and carry me through the difficult times.

"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever."
-Hebrews 13:8
