39 days.
That’s it.
283 days in foreign countries have come and gone in just the blink of an eye.
Honestly, I can’t believe it.
When people have asked me “are you excited to come home?” My answer is almost always “I’m ALMOST excited.”
Is it because I don’t miss my people or my home?
Not at all…
I think it’s more so a feeling of not quite being ready for this sweet season of my life to come to a close.
It’s had ups, it’s had downs, it’s had smiles it’s had frowns.
It’s had trials, and sickness and lots of tears.
It’s had disagreements, as well as a true discovery of community.
It’s been the most life changing 283 days of my life thus far.
BUT…
My life goes on, and the best that the Lord has for me, is not coming to a close.
The Lord’s best for me, is yet to come.
So while I’m almost excited to come home, I’m soaking up the next 39 days and the treasures the Lord has yet to unveil.
I’m soaking up the time I have left with my sweet sweet friends.
I’m soaking up and learning from the cultures that are far different from my own.
I’m soaking in and reflecting on the things I’ve seen, experienced and learned.
I’m soaking up the gift of this special season that will soon be over.
And as for the next season, I’m putting my full trust in God.
I’m stepping into a place and a community that knows the old me… it’s honestly a little scary.
But it’s also exciting.
Pray for my squad as we continue to seek and pray about what month 11 holds for us!
