I just said the hardest goodbye of my life.
I’ve never been great with goodbyes to begin with, but this one takes the cake. Life is full of goodbyes…when one moves, when friends or parents deploy, leaving for school, and even when friends leave after a short visit (even those get to me).
I never expected myself to be saying goodbye to my best friends and family knowing I won’t see them for 11 months, but now that I’m here and I’ve ripped the bandaid, I feel this wave of relief lifted off my shoulders. I’ve known since July that I would be participating with this amazing opportunity, and ever since July there has been this inevitable countdown of my departure.
As hard as it is to say goodbye, I am beyond excited to see the journey God has for me and my life these next 11 months.
Thank you for you continued prayers and support over the past few months. I look forward to this journey and the opportunity for you to be a part of it as well through my blog and social media.
Coming up: Guatemala on Thursday!
