And the goodbyes have begun.
Each one makes this thing all the more real.
I really am going 10,000 miles away from everything familiar to a country where the food is new, the language is new, the people are new.
This is going to happen.
The goodbyes are rough. I'm pretty good at holding myself together until I get to myself when I am suddenly swarmed by emotions and have to, once again, fall before my King, recognizing I totally need him to do this.
Before anyone doubts whether or not this is something I actually want to do, I do want to do this. I am excited. This is a huge opportunity to go and make His name known among the nations.
It's just the anticipation that kills.
But G*d is so good. His faithfulness and love is mind-blowing. I can't wait to share it with the students over there.
"Surely those who know the great passionate heart of Jehovah must deny their own loves in order to share in the expression of his." - Jim Elliot
Hang in there, girl! Goodbyes aren't fun, but they don't last forever.
