"it seems like such a short time, at first glance. but so many lifetimes are held in a single moment. how many of those moments are still to come? i can only dream...there is so much yet to come." --renae rogers
i hope my sis renae will forgive me for using her beautiful quote. it just keeps repeating in my head as i try to wrap my brain around leaving this rugged, strong, beautiful, healing land. tears of today's parting have not begun for me yet, but i know it is just a matter of time. i can feel them brewing.
i am so thankful for this opportunity. thankful for God's grace in joining this team. thankful for the people i have been blessed to interact with, for the stories i have heard. i pray that this country and its people will never be far from my heart. i know this short time here will continue to impact me as i return home; i pray i will be open to the changes, open to the tears, open to sharing my experiences--the joy and the pain--with others.
Father, help me to never forget what you have done here, what you are doing here. bless this land. bless these people.
