It's hard to believe that this time next week I will be in Chicago getting ready for an incredible journey! God has prepared me bit by bit for this new step and I am excited to take it with Him.
This was my last Sunday at church-- and what a great experience it was. I felt the community of Harrisonburg Mennonite wrapping their arms around me and affirming my decision. I feel very blessed to have such a supportive body keeping me in their thoughts and prayers.
This next week there are a lot of goodbyes in store. I don't like to think of leaving in a 'goodbye' sort of way, but rather a 'see ya later'. I can't wait till when I can get together with friends and family after my year in Paraguay to exchange laughs once again like not a day passed.
This is all I am going to post for now but so much more exciting events are sure to come!
I cant wait to meet you and the rest of our team. I have tons of excitement to see what God has planned for us
ReplyDeleteOh yay now I can see what you're up to and stay in touch! :-) I'm so excited for you Rose, and so proud of you for taking this next year to live in Paraguay. I know you will have an amazing time, full of awesome experiences and I pray that they only draw you closer to your creator! You will constantly be in my prayers and I will certainly miss you! Love you girl.
ReplyDeleteHey, great site Rose. I'll be checking in regularly and enjoying the ride with you.
