I have lice. There I said it!
Right now my squad and I are at our final world race location….Kiev, Ukraine. I found out a few days ago that not only am I carry around my ridiculous heavy pack but I am also carrying around a few extra travelers….a herd of lice. They managed to make their home in my hair just a few short weeks ago in Moldova. As I was explaining this story to my squad mates, who now avoid sitting next to me because they don’t want my little friends, I said this is a good time to get lice because in a few short days we will be on American soil.
The reality of going home hasn’t fully sunk in yet and I’m not sure if it will anytime soon. How do you do 11 months of seeing the hurt of the world, being broken and renewed by God, and falling in love time and time again and just go back to “normal”. How do you share 11 months of stories in a few short minutes people will give you to listen? How to do fit in when you clearly aren’t anything like you used to be?
These are just a few questions that are running through my head right now. In 4 days I will be in America and that scares the heck out of me. This year has been hard, stretching, and amazing all at the same time. But I will trust in God. He has a plan and a purpose for my future and I will not worry about it. I put my trust completely in HIM. The end of the race is bittersweet but its not the end its just the start of a new journey. So I leave you with the thought of little bugs crawling in my hair. Ewwww gross! Pray that our time in Kiev is good and that all that should be said gets said.
