A Bittersweet Goodbye

A few days ago I had to say goodbye not just to the place I've come to love but the people who have become family to me. It was the hardest thing I've ever done. A bittersweet goodbye. I lived in India for six and a half years. It was the place I grew up in. The place I first understood God's grace and love for me. The place I was surrounded by people who loved me and encouraged me. The place I called home. Tuesday morning I left that place, for an indefinite time, to return to the US for college. I know moving forward God has great plans for me. He will give me the strength I need, the hope, and He will guide my path. It's still a struggle though. There are so many things I have to learn, to adjust to. So many things I miss more than I ever imagined. In the end though, God is still God. Through it all, I will keep my eyes fixed upon Him. No matter how hard things are.
