Goodbyes- Tough stuff








................................................................................................................................

I'm absolutely horrible at goodbyes... whether it be on the phone, over facebook, or especially in person. It's hard to leave the people that you love the most, but at the same time I try to find good in each goodbye. Sometimes, the sadness that comes with it can be a blessing. If I didn't really care about the people I was saying goodbye to, then it wouldn't be hard at all. I am blessed to have people in my life that I don't want to say goodbye to. Its just a reminder of how the Lord has provided so abundantly for me. Change is also a part of life... nothing can remain the same forever. Even though we may not appreciate the process of going through changes, in the long run they are healthy and beneficial. We can all learn from each other as we grow, and that is one of the most beautiful aspects of the process of time passing. All of you have influenced me in ways that I don't have words to thank you for... I appreciate what each one of you has been to me, and I'm excited to share my experiences with you through my journey abroad. Feel free to drop a comment or an email at any time! I'd love to hear from you all! Until next time: "Trust in the LORD with all your heart; and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct your path."

Proverbs 3:5,6.
