Homecoming

Today is my last day in Straelen, Germany. I can hardly believe that my time here is ending, but I have had an unforgettable experience and could not have asked for more. This will be my last blog entry, so I wanted to say thank you. Thank you for taking this journey with me. Thank you for reading these blogs, making comments, sending me encouragement, and praying for me. I appreciate your support throughout the past months, and I am truly thankful for you. I love you all and cannot wait to see you again face to face! I would also like to thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He deserves all the glory! He provided me with this opportunity, prepared the way, and then graciously led me through every step of it. He has been so faithful, filling me when I was empty, being my friend when I felt alone, and showing me great and unsearchable things I did not know. He is the Word, and the Word is alive! I lack the words necessary to thoroughly express my thoughts and feelings at this moment, but I am full of anticipation. Although I am saddened by the ending of this chapter, I know that such an end leads to another beginning. I am looking forward to the next chapter in my life, and I can hardly wait to see what God does in and through me in the future! I am anxious to get home and begin the next journey. I can taste the homecoming, and it is truly bittersweet.
