Leaving

Yesterday I was sitting on the GO bus riding into Toronto for the last time. I started thinking about how huge a blessing these past 2 years here have been. When I finished school, I had some job opportunities in the States that I was seriously considering, but for various reasons (including knowing that moving overseas in the near future was a big possibility), I came back to Toronto. I am so thankful for these past 2 years. They have had their challenges, but I've really been seeing fruit in my own life of how the Lord has woven those challenges and trials into gold. And there have been such rich, fun moments and memories! I started tearing up on the bus yesterday (how surprising!), as I thought about the goodness of God, and how amazing a community of family, friends, and church He has provided for me. I am so excited for this new opportunity in Camden. I'm also really thankful that I'm feeling such bittersweet emotions about picking up my roots and moving over there on Sunday. I love how deeply rooted I felt here. "Being home" showed itself so many times in the form of the beautiful people that God has put into my life here.
