A Chapter Ends

Well, next week this time I'll be in America, and not just for a visit!  That still seems surreal to me, but I'm feeling convinced that the timing is right.  With the ending of this chapter in Kenya, however, come a LOT of loose ends to tie up (which is why blogging hasn't happened a whole lot lately).  This week I've been having final meetings with people, compiling things for a post-Nick CFA Kenya, creating final updates, going through drawers, saying good-byes, sorting clothes...and the list goes on. 

In the midst of all that, I'm trying to get my heart prepared for all the changes ahead and attempting to listen and respond to where God is leading my thoughts and my actions in a period of upheaval.  I would appreciate your prayers for this time - life in Kenya has become normal for me, and "normal" is about to look very different.  While I'm excited for the next step, I'm also feeling a lot of uncertainty right now about readjusting to life in America.  I know it's going to require patience, flexibility, and the wisdom of God to see where he is leading us.
