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…
