traveling again.

I can't believe it's over.  I seriously can't believe it.  It's SO SURREAL.  It doesn't feel real at all.  Sitting in the airport, awaiting a long night of flying and a much anticipated return to Trin and Dyer, I find myself in awe of how fast it went.  It seems like I just got here and now I'm getting ready to board another plane and start yet another phase of life.

My heart is so full of this family and this place.  God knew exactly what He was doing when He sent me here.  He knew I would go on such incredible adventures.  He knew I would meet such wonderful people and make lifelong friends.  He knew I'd miss Trin but that His work there would continue without me.  He knew I'd be forced to trust Him.  He knew I'd be blessed with a much needed season of rest.  He knew it would fuel my passion for His world, His people, and experiencing those things.  He knew it would change my life.

So as I sit in the airport feeling highly accomplished after actually getting to flush my toilet paper--my heart is broken...but oh so full at the same time.
