Ready or Not Here I Come

    Hello everyone! Well, I am all packed and have everything that I should need. There are always those little things you forget while you're either walking out the door or sitting in the car, but there is nothing that I can do to prevent that from happening. I guess that is an even better reason for me to completely rely on God's guidance and provision throughout this whole journey! 
   I have been receiving one common question from many, "Are you excited or nervous?" Well, I will be honest with all of you, I am actually quite nervous. As you can probably imagine it can be a little nerve-wracking being 18 years old and traveling across the world to an unknown county without the guidance of your parents. But I guess you could say, "welcome to the real world Autumn". But it has been made very evident to me, in more ways than one, that this is exactly where My Heavenly Father wants me and that it is in his perfect timing that I am embarking on this journey! I know that his spirit will be with me through it all and I can rest in the supernatural peace that he surrounds me with. 
    I wanted to give you guys the low-down on when and where I will be in these next couple of crazy days! Late Friday afternoon, my mom, dad, and I will be heading down to Grand Valley to have dinner with Noah and say goodbye to him. On Saturday we will have lunch with Luke at U of M. Then, with all intentions of trying to avoid the 100,000 U of M football fans on their way to the Big House, my parents and I will head to the Detroit airport. My departure time is 3:25. From Detroit I will fly five hours and arrive in Los Angeles. Lastly, I will leave LA at 11:55 and fly 13 hours to arrive in Brisbane, Australia at 7:00AM. So there you have it, my entire schedule.
    I will try to keep you all as up to date as possible. I will try to let you know when I arrive in LA, but I don't know where I will have internet and where I won't. Please leave comments, I love hearing from you and especially when I am missing home it will be so nice to know that you guys are all following my journey and right there with me.
God Bless,
Autumn

  2. Wow, I can hardly believe that it is time for you to take off. You are an amazing young lady and we are so proud of you! It is exciting to see God at work in your life. Walk close to Him and allow Him to guide your paths, and may He be glorified in all you say and do. Our prayers will be with you!
    "May the Lord bless you and keep you; may the Lord make his face shine upon you and gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace." Numbers 6:24-26
    Love you, Mom

  3. Loved talking with you for a bit the other day :) I'm so proud of you for taking this leap of faith and trusting that God will lift you up for every second of it! I'll be praying for you and the impact that you make, the people that you meet, and that the experiences (especially the challenging ones) that will shape you into the woman of God that you were created to be. I love how you've completely submitted to His will, regardless of the norm of the world, and have obeyed His word by humbling yourself before Him to be His hands and feet (James 4:10). It takes an incredible faith to do that!
    Love you to the moon and back again,
