Confirmation

This morning I awoke with a potpourri of emotions. Today I am leaving Barbados and returning home. 

I am down because I have fallen in love with these precious people here and cannot imagine not seeing them now regularly. These brothers and sisters of mine have a dear place in my heart and I will deeply miss them. 

I am confused...I came here thinking I would be returning in January for an extended stay but through these last few days Father has shown me it is not His timing. I was so certain and had begun planning my life accordingly. It's funny isn't how we hear one thing from Father and then take off running with it. 


I am excited... I have not a clue what to expect in this next phase of my life but I am certain it will be glorious because Christ is guiding me. 

I am at peace... While I may not be coming back as I had expected, I am certain I will be back in some way. I have met a dear sister Emily and have struck up quite a lovely relationship with her. This morning we went to grab a coffee and I was so encouraged by her. 

These last two weeks have been filled with an abundance of blessings and things I will never be able to describe, but I will step onto the plane today at peace and rejoicing for the journey and dialogue I have had with Father. My hope in His perfect will and unobtainable mystery has been strengthened and I rejoice in the knowledge I cannot comprehend Him.
