I think for a long time, I have just been avoiding the fact that I am leaving Kenya. I mean, to a certain extent, I knew I was leaving because I had nearly everything packed up days before our departure. But when I was saying my goodbyes, it just felt like my typical goodbyes for the day…I would see them tomorrow. But this time, I wouldn’t. I don’t think this will fully hit me until I spend my first few days back in the US. I never really allowed time for it to hit me in Kenya. I was too busy trying to get projects finished, even up to the last minute—literally. (I looked like a fool running around the HEART compound from building to building, person to person. But honestly, as much as it was stressful, it was fun. And I was laughing the whole time.)
I am holding on to the fact that I will be applying for a part-time staff position at HEART and plan on being back next year. I already talked to Vickie about it, and everyone tells me I am welcome back. So…with the Lord’s provision, I will be back at HEART soon.
But for now, I know God has a reason for bringing me back to the States. I could have stayed if I wanted to…which I did…but I know God has a better plan for me than I can imagine. So I am just following His lead as I journey back and forth between my homes in California and in Kenya…
And you arrived today! Please call me tomorrow. It's good to have you back!
ReplyDeleteIt is an absolute joy to have you home once again my daughter! (I think you probably gathered that from the greeting at the airport and the special times we have had thus far together!) God's timing is so perfect. It will be hard to let you go again but I have so enjoyed seeing you sprout wings and sore so high on the wings of our heavenly Father over the last two months. May he continue to bless you behind your wildest expectations. :) Hugs - Mom
