I would say worried, but its not really worry thats got me feeling this way. As in, Im not worried about flying or missing flights or figuring out what to do without anyone there... because that would be foolishly forgetting how well God is watching over me =D
Matthew 6:26-34 25 “That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn’t life more than food, and your body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they are? 27 Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?
28 “And why worry about your clothing? Look at the lilies of the field and how they grow. They don’t work or make their clothing, 29 yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are. 30 And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith?
31 “So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’ 32 These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. 33 Seek the Kingdom of God[d] above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.
34 “So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.
Sorry thats alot of verses but the idea its communicating is obviously that God will provide for us. So that means I really dont have to worry about these things. God will take care of it if I allow it. If I stress myself out to take care of everything, I may completely miss what he has planned for me. that would be awful honestly!
So I choose the word anxious instead, because though Im letting God take care of me I havent had much opportunity to be out on my own basically. Just thought I would share what I was feeling =)

It's cool that you're letting your worries go to God, or at least trying to. =) I've been struggling with that lately, mostly just worrying about if I'll be able to continue with my learning about God the way I have.
But yah, that's a great passage, and I want to let you know that I really appreciate the verses you share on these things. =) I enjoy it, and I think others do too.
And you'll be fine. =) All that stuff about missing flights is not that normal.It's hard to go through customs, but since you're just going to Michigan, it'll be fine. =) And all us here will be praying for you. =)
Hey looky there buddy, YOU MADE IT!!! God is faithful, as always, to carry out His sovereign will. No need to worry. :p (if only we would remember that ALL the time!)
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Oh yes and you must NEVER again apologize for "too" many verses. Duh! That's the best part! :p (not to say that we don't like hearing what you have to say... *cough* *cough*)
Anyway, hope you have a GREAT time up there! I'm so excited that you get this opportunity, and I pray that you will seek God's Kingdom first and foremost in every day you have up there. God will work mightily through and you and in you if you don't try to manipulate things, and just give God the go ahead. :)
Alright well, be safe so that when you get home we can do ALGEBRA!! Ok. I guess that isn't much incentive for you to come back safely... Oh well! :)
