From Now On…

Month 10 was the first time I’ve cried leaving a ministry. I think part of it is that I finally reached the point where I’m tired of goodbyes. I’m tired of making connections with the hosts and the locals only to say goodbye in the matter of 30 days or less. But do we stop loving the people? Do we stop being intentional and giving all of who we are? No. I didn’t want to leave Lesotho, but I knew there was more in store for me; there’s more to come. There’s people and hosts to connect with here in month 11, and there’s family and friends to hug when I get home and get to share all the goodness of the Lord with them; everything He has taught me and shown me this year.
Well, this is it. My last blog of the World Race. Maybe I’ll do one once I get home, but this will be the last one on the field.
I don’t know what to say besides WOW. Can you believe I’m just a few short days of going home? I can’t believe it. This year has taught me a lot. I’ve laughed a bunch, cried a lot, went on crazy adventures, had hard conversations, and I’ve been transformed.
I’m very grateful for you and you and even you! Thank you to everyone who’s helped me get to the end. Whether that be through finances, prayer, texts or calls.
For those of you who are curious about “what’s next?” for me, well, I’m going home to New Jersey. I’ll be going back to my home of 15 years with my parents, and being further pursued by my boyfriend who I will one day get to marry. Other than that the possibilities are endless. And that’s always how it’s been for me. Lord knows I’m willing to do anything for His name sake. It’s exciting to see what He’ll have me walk into next. But for right now, I’m at complete peace with what I’m going home to. I don’t need to know all the answers. Just one step at a time.
