Home...

First couple of days being back home=VERY overwhelming.

Yesterday was a very hard day for me. Didn't think it would be as hard as it was to leave a place that I have loved so much. Even though my time with YWAM has been one long road.

A road that I was able to learn from.
A road that built character in me.
A road that taught me leadership.
A road that taught me to give everything I had to God.
A road that made me rely on God more then anything.

These last two years will be two years I will never forget. Even though it was a long journey and I wanted to give up, I didn't. God gave me the strength that I know I couldn't of gained on my own. In these last two years God gave me some of my best friends, that I know I will be friends with forever.
I really have learned that I value friendships very highly. Friends are everything to me. Two of my closes friends I have, are two girls that I met just a year ago and I feel like I have known them my whole life. These are two girls that I am able to be open and honest with and know they will not judge me but love me. I would do anything for these two girls.
Then I have my YWAM family; 19 people that mean the world to me. These are people that I have grown to love over the last two years. They have seen the best and worst side of me; they know my weaknesses and my strengths; they know what will step my buttons; they know how to make me laugh; they know how to encourage me and love me. These are people that know my past and don't care about that but just want to help me grow and be a better person. These people are my best friends and my family.

I know that God has me home right now for a reason. When I am in San Francisco I see that I need to be home. When I am home, I wonder if this is the right place; even though I got into APU in the Fall. I'm excited what is going to happen during the next seven months that I am home. I know that this time is going to be a challenge and an adventure all in one. And I think I am ready for it. But I am only ready for it because I have the Lord God almighty on my side!
