2012...

Well seeing that it has been 3 months since I have updated this, I figured I would. I can't believe that I have been here 8 months and will be heading home in only 4 short months... it's crazy how time flies. There are so many things that have occurred and so many changes that have happened too! I can honestly say that I could have never imagined how eye-opening and life changing these past few months have been. The things that I used to think mattered, really don't matter so much anymore. I have met so many people and I know that God brought them to me. The people here are just normal people like everyone that I knew in the states, they just look different and speak a different language, BUT it is amazing to know that the same hands created us all. We are here because God brought us here. How amazing is that?? I've also learned that you cannot possibly love someone until you learn to accept that you are loved by God. I am loved. You are loved.
Also, when we pray, no matter where we are, God hears us. I am blessed so much and I cannot fathom how much.
I informed my boss this last week that I will be going back to the states in May. I never really thought about how difficult it is going to be to leave here. I have made my life here and there are so many people that I have come to love and become friends with, that it is going to be difficult to say bye when the time comes. Right now I can't help but wonder if the decision to go home is the right one. How will life be there after being here? Will there be a job for me there? Will I have a good place to live? It is the right decision? Don't get me wrong, I really want to see my family, but what happens a month after I'm back at home with them? I have so many decisions to make in the near future and I'm not sure what to do about some of them.
I feel like I am getting ahead of myself... I still have 4 months of time here! There are so many things left to do in that short amount of time. God has many plans for my life and the next thing on the list to learn is to just to trust him completely... I'll work on that...
