Leaving Guatemala

I will be leaving here tomorrow morning, and have been preparing all of the work to be put on hold for a couple months. I’ve been trying to prepare emotionally to leave; thinking of leaving people behind hurts my heart. I know that it is right for me to be home for the summer, for various reasons, even if it is difficult to pull myself away.

When I look at my life, I am overflowing with thankfulness. Sometimes I cannot believe that God has blessed me so much in the way that He constantly provides ways for me to serve Him and fulfill my heart’s desires. I have the best of everything. I have an unbelievable and friends, who I know are consistently supporting me in all ways. Both at home and here in Latin America I have the opportunity to work in fields that are close to my heart. It is easy for me to get caught up in myself and become extremely selfish, but finding contentment and joy is a matter of choosing it above all else. I know that I will look back at these years in my life as some of the greatest, even though at certain moments I may not feel that way. God always has a plan, and I still pray daily that through my mistakes I can stay on the narrow path to walking with Him and serving Him.

I am looking forward to seeing all of my church family, those who have also been on this journey with me! As always, I thank you for your support financially, and through prayer. See you all soon!
