Denial

I am in denial.

I am 11 days away from landing back in California.
I am 10 days away from getting on the very last plane ride with my whole squad; my family.
I am 5 days away from leaving Swaziland.
I am 4 days away from my last day of “official” ministry.

And I am in denial.

Where did these 11 months go? Remember when I was preparing to leave on this crazy adventure, and 11 months seemed like such a long time?

Am I ready to go back? Let me answer that question in eleven days. Because right now I am in denial. In a few days I will grieve, then accept it, and possibly go through that cycle quite a few times before finally moving on, emotionally speaking.

Right now, this is denial.
