On the last day of 2014, I am currently sitting* in the Honduran airport on my way to Houston, where I'll spend the next few days before my month long missionary training in Colorado Springs (MTI--a requirement for new Micah missionaries). Even though I know that God knows way more than I do/his plans are best, I have to admit it has been difficult for me to look forward to leaving my new home. The Micah boys, staff, and Villa Linda Miller community have weaseled their way into my heart in a forever sort of way. When there are kids involved that seem to grow inches (physically and metaphorically), a month feels like a lifetime of new memories I'm leaving behind. However, I have been reminded that my leader and Lord "left behind" those that he loved in his time here in our world. And as he told his disciples in John 14:18, "I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you." And, in reality, as much as I love the boys (and the girls from the Villa ;)), they weren't mine to begin with. They're God's, and he has their past, present, and future in his hands. They never were orphans--they're God's children, and he is a faithful father. With that said, I am going to keep this entry short. All I have to say is this: Honduran family, I love you so much. But this is not goodbye, it's Hasta Luego.
And Houston**? I'm looking forward to the next few days with y'all!!!!! You're my family, too, and I long to see y'all again soon!
*Well, standing... it's a tall enough table for me to do my traditional no-sit computer usage without looking terribly awkward
**A little stop along the way ;)
