It is hard to believe I only have a day and a half left being here in NY. So many goodbyes- it has been a bit wearing at times. I am so thankful for the friends I have had here in NY/NJ - they have helped me grow in God in so many different ways. It is bittersweet to leave for this new venture. In some ways I am nervous as I am not really sure what this year will hold - yet I know in my heart that this is where I need to be. I will be learning alot - that is what I signed up for - a time to grow and learn and somehow help others grow too. It just so happens to be across the ocean. I am thankful for a faithful God who has helped me get this far - He will help me with each new step along the way. The first few weeks of Germany will be spent in orientation - getting to know the staff, learning the ropes of being an RA - learning how to live in Germany. Pray for me as I encounter another explosion of information. Pray for strength on this journey. I will be flying from NY to Munich to Basel, Switzerland not knowing who will be picking me up what the next year will be like. I am glad that I am not along - I have a Savior to lead me and guide me! Thanks so much for all who are praying. That's all for tonight - time for more planning/packing!! :)
