I feel like there are a thousand things I need to pen out right now. My heart is full to the point of breaking with all the thoughts and emotions that come with this transition and the many vital lessons I've learned this year. As my time in Scotland is drawing to a close, these past couple weeks have been full of preparations for returning home - mainly packing and a lot of coffees and meals with people I love as we grasp to make the most of our rapidly disappearing time together. One such event was last friday night - a surprise going away party that my wonderful colleagues threw for me. It was so much fun!
By the end of the night my face hurt from smiling and laughing so much. I really felt so, so loved and appreciated. The high point was probably when they showed a video they'd made of all the students saying goodbye and why they love and will miss me. SO PRECIOUS! Although it aches to say goodbye, I'm finding a sweetness amongst the bitter parts. The pain we feel in this separation is a testimony to
the depth of our relationships and the love that we foster for one another. If we didn't care so much about each other, then it really wouldn't hurt to say goodbye. I've found a great community in Radiate and I'm going to miss these people very much. I'm thankful for the opportunity to share life with them and I feel honored that God would allow me to be a part of their spiritual journey. _______________________________________
