Goodbye

I'm on my computer looking up pictures for a presentation I'm giving this summer. I fly back to the States tonight. I haven't even left yet and already I'm struggling with saying goodbye to this place I've called home for the last 10 months. My closest friends and all my family may be in the States but I'm beginning to build friendships here. I'm sad to leave all my new friends. I know I'll be back in 7 weeks but I guess I've never really been good at goodbyes. It is in coming here that I've learned to trust the Lord more. It is in coming here that I've learned God is in complete control. It has not been easy and I've made MANY mistakes but He has been faithful as always.
