All summer long, when asked about my date of departure, I have answered "Oh, I´m not leaving until August", stressing the fact that August was eons away. Well, August has arrived, and in less than one week I will be on a plane Minnesota bound. I am once again so so excited to see everyone from "home", but once again, I´m leaving a little more of my heart here than I had planned.
Throughout this year of preparation for my Summer 2009 in Reynosa, Joshua 1:9 was continuously running through my head and heart. "Haven't I commanded you? Strength! Courage! Don't be timid; don't get discouraged. God, your God, is with you every step you take." I now, once again, find this passage comforting. To know that God is watching over each and every one of us, with the big picture in mind, will help me get onto that plane. I step forward knowing that God has my best interests at heart, if I only listen. I have learned so much from mis amigos here al Refugio. God has blessed me incredibly by allowing me a spiritual sanctuary for two consecutive summers. I hope to take this peace that I feel and share it with all those who have supported my time here. Thanks to all who made my time here a realistic possibility.
I will be seeing you all, oh so soon.
En Cristo,
Eliza
