It actually arrived.
The day we never thought would get here.
At the beginning of the day, it seemed like any other day.
At 4:30 p.m., my stomach dropped.
We had finished language school.
I still don’t think I believe it. I don’t think I’ll believe it until after our graduation ceremony next Friday afternoon.
We actually have one last project…to give our testimonies at graduation. So, this next week while we are settling in our new house, we will be working on our testimonies. Lucas already wrote his and had it corrected. I, however, still need to write mine and send it to my professor via email to be corrected. Then its practice, practice, practice!!
I definitely had mixed emotions as I left the school today.
Joy. I am really looking forward to being home and just being the wife and the mom again.
Panic. A week and a half until I start homeschooling the boys.
Excitement. A week and a half until I start homeschooling the boys.
Sadness. Even though we will all see each other at graduation next week, it was sad saying goodbye to the professors and other students today. We have spent 14 hours a week together for 36 weeks of this last year. It will be weird not seeing each other every day. We have made wonderful friends who we have grown to love.
Crazy fear. We are now entering the real world of ministry in Brazil. This could be interesting.
Over all, this last year has been the most stretching year our family has ever had. We have been challenged in new ways. We have had new struggles. We have painfully grown in our faith. God revealed things to us that we may have never seen had it not been for this last year. God has been very faithful, just as He promised.
I am very thankful for all aspects of the last year.
But I am also very glad I’m not going to class on Monday.
