Last Few Days....

I can't believe that I am actually sitting here talking about going home. I have five days left here in Greece. I can't believe that 3 1/2 months have gone by as fast as they have. Its sad to see my time here come to a close. I have gained so much from this experience. I have made wonderful friends who I have grown very close to and have experienced so many incredible things with. It is hard to see this experience end, but I know that I have gained so much from it! I have seen so much growth within myself! I am much more confident in my independence and who I am as a person! I have grown not only in myself, but in my relationship with Christ. I have seen His blessing just shower over me and I am more appreciate for what He has given me. I have been able to truly hear His voice while over here and have felt Him tug on my heart and guide me into a direction I never thought I would be called to. He removed me from everything I knew and placed in me in a completely foreign land. Because of this I was able to better understand His plan for me and where He wants me upon arrival in the states. I have seen my relationship with Christ grow and strengthen and because of that I have seen my own personal strength be renewed. The Lord opened up my eyes and showed me that there is a world so much bigger than my own. He has given me the itch to explore that world and with that exploration has come so much knowledge. I am so sad to see that all come to an end. But, I have to tell myself that the learning process is not over once I leave Greece, everything that I have learned and experience I get to take home with me. I get to apply what I have learned over here back in the states. Going home won't be an end to this learning, but instead a continuation. Going home will bring new opportunities and its own set of challenges and because of my experiences here and all I've learned I get to go home on tackle them in a new light! I am so sad to see this experience come to a close, but at the same time I am excited for all the new experiences that await me!
