Wrapping Up

Originally posted on 5/9/09

Tuesday was our last day of ministry and now we are busy saying goodbyes and wrapping things up here. It was very hard to say goodbye to everyone that I've grown to love but I know that God has them in His hands and will continue to grow them. I will be leaving on Wednesday at half past 12 and will arrive in DC at 6am on Thursday. From there we will travel to Georgia for a short time of debrief with our team and I will be back in Charlotte on Friday afternoon. I am excited to spend time with my friends and family that I have missed dearly but am struggling to say goodbye. Jeffreys Bay has become my home and my team has become my family. Which leads me to some big news, God has been pressing on my heart that this isn't the end. These relationships are not really over. Some of them are and I have to be okay with that but I'm taking heart in the fact that he has more planned for many of the relationships. I am still praying for clear direction but I know that God is calling me back here. Whether it be a few months, another year, or many years later, I know this isn't a final goodbye. As of right now, with much prayer and thought, I am looking at coming back in January for at least 6 months maybe a year. I have no details at all. God is teaching me to live in faith and trust Him with everythign so I am doing my best to do just that. As He lays more on my heart I will keep you all updated. Please keep my team in your prayers as we say our last goodbyes and wrap things up. And pray for God's direction, leading, and provision as I look to the future and coming back. Thank you all very much for your continual support of what God is doing in my life. I love you all dearly!
