There is a great sense of excitment as I prepare to leave for World Youth Day 2008. Excitment as I know this time-away will be a life changing experience, excitment because this is a gathering of Catholic youths from everywhere in the world. I am so excited I am bursting at the seams.

Of course, that is not to say that I don't have any worries about it. I keep having the feeling that I forgot something, but I guess it's not too big a deal. Nothing Target or Walmart can't solve. Besides, going to Australia without gloves or a beanie, I think I'll be fine. I should be able to survive with A$170 for two weeks I guess. The exchange rate is crazy. S$225 got me a mere A$170. Oh well.

The recurring Word that has come to me the past few days, has been not to worry. God will provide and He will be right there at my side. There is after all so much I can fret about. It is indeed time to let go and let God.
