Nebraska, Colorado, Texas, to my final days in Cottage Groves
The road to departure this summer has been long as I find myself in my final days sorting and packing to leave what has been my home for the last twenty eight years of my life. It seems pieces of life seem more magnified when you prepair for a jorney like this. Realizing how interwoven your life is and how all of those around you the constant assurance of support, that holds and protect you. But it is also within these ties that I find assurance that my road ahead will be just as rich because the support of this thread has constructed itself into the fabric of my being and can not be broken. Thanks to all my family and friends you have been essential to my growth as a person and have loved me well. I will miss all your beautiful faces this year but expect to hear from you all through this year.
For my clients you all are so wonderfull I was thankfull to see so many of you before my departure and for those of you I missed I will hope to see you in a year. Thank you all for your support and encouragement. I really have the greatest job, and you all make it possiable.
I spent the morning on the phone with my friend Amanda. She has been living on the islands since June working primarly with the secondary school that just started there. She sounds so great and has been an encouragment to me in my arrival in Uganda. It will be great to have not only an American but one of my dearest friends there for a year. This adventure for me has been so long awaited as I recall my first return from Africa at eighteen being love sick for the people of this continent and knowing that it was far from done with me. It was my dream to be able to spend a extended period of time in Africa to love, learn, and serve these people. Here is to a dream long awaited.
I will blog again upon my arrival to Uganda. Peace and love to you all.
