The view outside my
window has had many changes in the past weeks.
The view outside my
window was of newborn goats and Malaysian apples.
Then view outside my
window changed to an apartment building and a playground set.
The current view
outside my window is of roads, cars, and houses, thousands of feet below me.
In a few hours, the
view outside of my window will be the city of Philadelphia and then of my dogs
in my backyard.
As I sit here on
plane ride #21 since July of 2016, I feel like the views outside my window
reflect my life in transition.
For someone that
struggles with change, life overseas is filled with it! I’ve adjusted to a new
culture, climate, home, language, school, and job. I have to meet and then say
goodbye to dozens of new people. I taught a grade I’ve never imagined being a
part of. I’ve learned to live away from family for the first time. I’ve
adjusted to life with two housemates and wayyyy less animals then I’m used to.
So much change in
just 10 months!
Though it hasn’t
always been easy, it has always been worth it! As one of my housemates and I
used to say, “This life is hard, but it is good.”
I love my new life in
Haiti, all the change included. I love how God is
using all of these
experiences to shape me, hopefully into looking more like Him. I love how God
is using my family, friends, and church family to build me up, encourage, and
support me in the call God has put on my life.
Thank you for your
part in my story, no matter what view outside my widow there is.
My ministry is
not possible without you.
