The Future.

6 months....

It is so hard to comprehend that I have been living in another country for 6 months. This is the longest single period of time I have spent outside of my home country. Yes, I went to college here but I was only ever gone for 3 months at a time. I am amazed at how fast the time has gone. It's one of those weird time things where you feel like you've been here forever (in a good way) yet at the same time you feel like you just arrived last week. 

I have about a month left and my calendar is already full. I intend to make the most of being with these people and living in this community for the next month. I'm sad to be leaving this place but also have an exciting announcement to make...

I will be returning to Manchester and NTC in June 2015! It makes leaving friends a little easier knowing I will be returning in the near future. While, a year ago, I was beginning to make plans to come here, I would not have thought that a year later I would be making more plans to come back. 

I am just as amazed at how God is providing for me to return as I was at how He provided for me to come this time. I know this is the right path at this time in my life. I am thankful for the peace that comes from following God's will. I am thankful for God's provision thus far and for provision for the future. I am thankful I can return to this community that is equipping the church's future leaders.

The support and prayers of all of you have meant so much to me and I hope that you will continue to join me in this wonderful adventure God has allowed me to be on. I will be home for 6 months and would love the chance to tell you in person about some of the wonderful things God is doing here at NTC. I would love the opportunity to meet people for meals, coffee, etc. or even for speaking to various church groups. If you are interested you can email me or contact me through the contact page of this website. 

It's an incredible journey this thing called life. I'm all in.
