I’m not really there yet. I know it is not up to me. But I think my heart is not ready to leave. At the end of the day, I think I am afraid I will become an “alien” back in Canada… because we have changed in our year here. But then again, I’m reminded that in reality, I am an alien to this world. One step at a time.
Sometimes I have glimmers of “everything is going to be okay.” But whenever I think of the people here, I get glimmers of deep sadness because our friendships here have been so strangely welcoming and deep and intense in such a short period of time.
Well, bottom line, I am good to go wherever… yes, I am.

Father, thank You for being Lord of the years; of each moment that passes through our lives. You see and oversee. You bring things together and set them apart. You deliver mercy time and time again. Your love has no end. We are so insignificant yet You call us Your beloved. And so another year passes under Your care and provision, Your plan and protection. Teach me to count my days. Teach me to make my days count.
