The countdown begins... My last day in PR is just 6 days away. A door is opening to the next, new adventure in my life. It's exciting to see family again, yet sad to leave people that I have grown to care for here. It's also an exercise in trust since I don't know what the future will hold although I have some plans. It's also a good time to reflect upon what the Lord has done here in PR.
He gave me very kind co-workers.
He gave me Christian landlords and a furnished apartment with a roof terrace! (I turned over my apartment two days ago and am currently staying with my aunt's family until I leave.)
He gave me a good church, where I enjoyed helping with the children and music ministries. The Lord gave me one of my dreams here--to be a part of a praise team!
He is my Healer and Protector. The surgery (Sep. 2008) left almost no visible scars. (I know where to look, but other people can't tell.)
He provided someone to buy my car yesterday, and I can still use the car until I leave!
He gave me His creation to enjoy--wild parrots, chirping tree frogs, tiny lizards, big iguanas, Caribbean beaches, tropical rains, palm trees and exotic flowers, rainforest waterfalls, green mountains, arid hills, cacti, people. (Even fire ants, spiders, and mosquitos are part of his creation although I admit that I do not enjoy them as much...lol)
He gave me a chance to play handbells with the staff at the school for the deaf.
He provided E, who gave me a temporary place to stay and who has also been a wonderful friend.
Now, as I go to the States, I am looking forward to being closer to my parents and siblings and to having some good friends. I am also looking forward to visiting my Alma Mater (a Bible college in the midwest) and staying in the dorm. room of one of my closest friends.
