As I sit here starting to write this blog, I don’t even know what to say. I have been home for a week. A week away from the people I spent the past nine months with. A week away from my friends. A week full of sadness, anger, happiness, and being overwhelmed. A week of readjustment. And a week with my family.
After living with people for 9 months and being with them 24/7, it was extremely hard to say goodbye/ see you later to 24 people who have become my family. I don’t think I have ever cried that much in my entire life. The people at the airport probably thought we were crazy. Though this is hard, I can’t wait to see how the Lord continues to grow each of these amazing people and see what He has in store for them.
One of our friends at church came up to me on Sunday and told me something like “I feel what you’re going through. I know this season is pretty hard for you. You were living in a community with a lot of people who became like family and it’s ok to grieve that. It can be hard to readjust after that, but just let your feelings out.” That’s just what I needed to hear. That feeling of being understood really helped me out. So thanks Gethin for sharing that.
The past 9 months have been a rollercoaster for sure, but I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who supported me and allowed me to go. Also, a huge thank you to everyone who has walked by my side, for the long conversations, for the advice, and simply for loving me. Gap R, I love every single one of you and miss you more than words can describe.
Please continue praying for me as I transition back into normal life and try to process what the heck just happened for the past 9 months. Thanks! Love y’all!
Yours in Christ,
Landon Mullins
