It comes so often in this life I have been living for the past 7 months. This weekend will mark my next big change, as we are leaving SouthEast Asia and flying to Kenya, Africa. You all know from reading my last continent changing blog that, that doesn't come with the most normal travel itinerary, but I'm sure within a few days we will make it to Kenya.
Living in this lifestyle I have this amazing opportunity to restart each month. I have a chance to
clean out my bag
get rid of the extra baggage
start a new journal
start new routines with myself and our team
get to see God's creation in a whole new way
and set new goals
It is this great feeling that comes with a new sheet of paper that I can color on a whole new way. (You know I have spent too much time with 5 year olds this month when I compare my life to coloring!)
But even more important–
"When things change, you become more aware of what's around you. You get a chance to evaluate things that may not be the best."
I get an opportunity to uncover the things that I need to let go, sweep out the bad habits, and realize the new opportunities. I have a chance for new relationships, new chances to work on dreams, and a new season.

WIth all that being true, I still have to experience the goodbyes. This may be one of my hardest months saying goodbye. You can read Heather's blog to get a more in depth picture of why saying goodbye to these girls will be so hard.

My team flies out of Kuala Lumpur on Sunday. I would love your prayers for our last day with the girls. On Thursday night we will be praying over each of them, having a night of worship and then goodbyes that I don't feel ready to face.
