later gators

Hello there. I hope you are not already annoyed at the frequency with which I blog. In an attempt to not under process my experience I will absolutely be over processing.

Today was my last day at OCC. It was terribly sad and wonderfully sweet at the same time. My thought process the past 7-8 months in my position has been that I am just an associate. Just a temporary position trying to finish a project. My colleagues and leadership showed me today, with their words, kindness, hugs and yes, tears that I was more than that. It was so very humbling/ a bit embarrassing. I am so thankful for them and all the incredible lessons, advice and wisdom I learned while being around them. I value each one of their experiences overseas and the work they do to spread the love of Jesus to children everywhere.

So, after lots of tears and several goodbye surprises I feel even more empowered, even more capable to go. The Lord used all of them to speak into me, to encourage me, to bring light to areas I didnt know existed in me...things I couldnt see in myself that Jesus has been growing.

God is good. He is for our good. I am going to Haiti with that knowledge strongly fixed in my Spirit. I know that life there is different, so much harder and darker. But I know God is good. and He is for their good.

Shout out to all my office people. Thanks for letting me run around like a crazy person the past 7 months, dance dare you, get the hiccups 4 times a day and eat all the food before you can get to it.

I will miss you all.
