I have watched my students grow up right before my eyes, in height, speech and everything in between. I grew with them and they became my children, a very big part of my life.
I am 26 years old and a proud “mother” of about 60 Chinese children.
I have heard that for some parents the letting go part of raising children is the hardest part. I now have a small understanding of what that is like.
They will always have a place in my heart. In leaving my “children” I had to release them back into God’s hands. There is no better place for them to be but it’s still very hard for me to realize that I may never see them or get another hug or kiss from them.
But God is showing me that I can’t move forward if I’m always looking back. God’s plan for my life did not end when I left China but rather it is the beginning of a new chapter. The move of God is ever moving forward and I want to move with Him!!!
