Being home the past few days has really brought up the reality that I am leaving. Leaving the country, my home, my job, my family, my relationships, etc… Leaving for 11months… This is a year of my life I won’t get back. I will miss things. People will change or move on. Life will happen without me. It is scary, because as one door opens another door closes. And I’m not sure if ill get to ever open the old door again.
I know that it is worth it, and I knew a long while ago that the door would close, but knowing and doing are very different. Things will never be the same again. I want change, I’m excited for it. But wanting change is different than experiencing change. There is a weird tension between anticipation and fear, love of comfort and desire to take risk, leaving relationships and making new ones,etc…
Please be praying for me as the time for these changes becomes closer and more real.
thanks! Kathryn
