one week ago i was sitting on my bed in california thinking about all the hard goodbyes i would soon have to say and all the amazing friends i would soon have to leave and all the warm tears i would soon feel on my cheek.
now i sit on my bunk in ecuador thinking about all the hard goodbyes i have said and all the ones i will say. i sit here thinking about all the amazing friends i have left and all the ones i will leave. i sit here reflecting on past and imagining future tears.
similarities?
yes.
why?
because change is inevitable.
change is growth,
& change is hard-
but it’s good.
leaving my family and friends was hard, but it was hard because it was good. it was good because God provided. and if change has taught me anything, it’s that every season is good because God always provides.
every season is different.
playa del rey or quito,
l.i.t or tribe,
ubers or buses,
they’re different, but God is still God and His faithfulness is constant.
& this is what i’m clinging to.
to be honest it’s hard for me to balance my relationship with God, my squad, and people back at home. it’s difficult to spend time with one without feeling like i’m sacrificing valuable time with the others but i know God has opened the door for all of those relationships and as i strive to be a good steward of all He has blessed me with, i can trust that as i prioritize Him, He will provide the intimacy i desire, because even though season are changing, He is faithful.
