Moving On


Can't believe a year is almost up. 2 more weeks in the UK. Where has time gone? It's amazing to look back in my journal/blog posts and see all the prayer requests God has answered in the past couple months. I am so thankful I took that step of faith coming to England...a journey of ups and downs, stretching my faith, and growing closer to Him along the way.

What will I miss?
-Friendships...wish I could take everyone back with me to the US.
-Walking on the South Bank near Big Ben...never gets old.
-Markets...Portobello, Borough, Brick Lane, and Greenwich...I'll miss you on a Saturday morning.
-ASWW...can't believe I cried saying goodbye to you all yesterday. So emotional. Thanks for being my British family and sharing life together.
-Reality...going deep with my American/Brit friends. Thank you for supporting me on this journey and showing me what community looks like.
-Meals with my homestay...Eunice (one of the most caring people I know) and Ian (his home-made ice cream is the best ever...ask him to make you some). Thank you for showing me what a Godly marriage looks like, welcoming me into your family, and sharing your wisdom over the dinner table.

I am sad to leave the people I have invested in the past 12 months, but I am excited for what the future holds and ready for a new season. A season being reunited with old friends, family, and new job in Seattle. I know these friendships will last a lifetime and we'll be reunited again...

Isaiah 41...Thank you for your truth Lord!

So do not fear, for I am with you;
    do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
    I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

“All who rage against you
    will surely be ashamed and disgraced;
those who oppose you
    will be as nothing and perish. 
Though you search for your enemies,
    you will not find them.
Those who wage war against you
    will be as nothing at all. 
For I am the Lord your God
    who takes hold of your right hand
and says to you, Do not fear;
    I will help you.
