Praise Him

God is good.

God is faithful and He is perfect and He is good.

I cannot believe that today is my last day here in Hungary. Last night was hard - it was sad to tell people goodbye. It was hard to be asked, "Will we see you next year?" and not be able to answer. I want to say yes with all my heart, but I don't know God's plan for me. And it wasn't bad to be asked that question, but it hurt my heart. I could only hug and cry and hug again. Saying goodbye to youth group girls (come who came by just to tell me goodbye - I really am thankful for that and I wish I could have spent more time with them. That meant so much) was very difficult, but at the same time I am confident that God has His hand over them, that He is working in them, and that He is in control. I feel that way with everyone, but it is very sad to say goodbye, even if I know I will see some of my friends again.

The English camp was great. God continually works miracles, and He brings people in. The stories of people who attended would blow your mind. I am so thankful that I serve the Lord! I'm so thankful for the work of Paulus, I'm so thankful that I got to work with them and see them in action.

It was very hard to say goodbye tonight to the Paulus staff. They are my family here - I can't really explain it except with that word, "family". It was really hard. I have a lot of thoughts to process, and I will post again, but for now I just want to thank God that I am here, even as my heart breaks to leave. I am thankful that my heart breaks to leave because it means that He moved. I know I am in His will, and I know that He has the future in His hands. I can only praise Him and give Him glory for what He has done.

Later I'm going to post a list of trivial things that I am looking forward to at home. Remembering these things actually helps me. It reminds me of what I have at home (besides family and friends, of course) to look forward to. I am happy to be going home. I just wish I didn't have to leave!
