I'm not gonna lie...this is hard.  Leaving is not easy.  Saying goodbye to everyone in my life is not easy.  I woke up this morning with the realization that I'm leaving.  Not only that I'm leaving, but who and what I'm leaving, my friends and my family who mean so much to me, my life and everything I have ever known.  Then I read this:

 

 "And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house. And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God" Luke 9:61-62

 

I get to say goodbye to friends and family, God has granted me that luxury (among so many others!)  I thank Him for that.  I'm preparing myself to not look back.  As I board the plane tomorrow, not looking back but instead looking ahead towards the journey that the Lord has called me to.  God never claimed that this would be easy, in fact He taught that it would be quite the opposite. It is. But it's worth it.  :D  This week I have gotten to spend precious time with the people God has put in my life, it has been such a blessing to see everyone and I have had SO much funnnnnnnnn!
