The time has come. I have one full day left on the island, and it's as bittersweet as anything I've ever been a part of. I will indeed miss these people, that I have come to love, they have become a part of me. I came a stranger and am leaving a brother, and I'm glad for it. I've learned a lot, changed a little, and re-focused myself for what will prove to be a great school year. Putting Hatteras in my rearview mirror won't be easy but when the time comes, I'm sure I'll be ready. After all, I still have a week to spend in Boston! I might not have accomplished all the things I planned on doing while I was here, but I believe that the Lord accomplished all he set out to do in me this summer, and honestly that is far more important than me meeting my goals. Although I think the word "season" is overused, I will be the first to admit that the two months I've spent here have ushered me into a new season of life, one that I'm both ready for and excited about. Praise the Lord for His goodness, and mercy. It's been a crazy summer, and one I will never forget.
Not only did I learn and grow, but I also made some really good friends, and hopefully our journey together won't be over just because we go back to our separate locations.
So, I guess that's it. I don't really know what the school year will be like time wise, although I hardly believe that I will remember to post anything new, so if you have been keeping up, thank you, and I love you.
