It has been an amazing summer, and God has been very good to me. This past week has been a blur of goodbyes, driving around, eating out, and emotional ups and downs. The Lord has divinely rearranged schedules and given me some very sweet moments with some very dear people. The past few days have been spent doing laundry, packing, and trying to prepare myself (mentally, emotionally, physically...) to go back to Montpellier.
The hardest part about leaving this second time has been trying to balance the grief of leaving with the excitement of going back. In the midst of trying to sort out all of my emotions, God gave me this verse:
"She who goes out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with her." Psalm 126:6
Even though I am sad to leave behind people I love and miss out on parts of their lives this next year, God has promised to bless the seeds we sow, and I know that we will return with joy and a plentiful harvest. This is my prayer for this next year!
Thank you for your prayers for me and my ministry - I am so thankful for all of you!
