little more than i can give, little more than i deserve.....

i've been thinking a lot this week about what it's going to be like to be home again. it seems like just yesterday that i was saying to my parents, "i'm going to england." and now i'm heading home again. craziness. absolute craziness.

i'm excited, but i'm not all at the same time. i want to go home, because i know it's what God wants. but at the same time i'm really going to miss this place. i love england, and i love the people here. i just need to remember that the time i've had here is a gift, and be thankful for it. it's so hard though. hard because i could've really loved it here i think. if i had been in a different place in my life, a different state of mind, i could've really loved it here. and maybe someday i will. maybe someday i'll come back to the oakes. maybe.

i hope so.


but if not, i know i can look back on the 4 months that i've been here and be thankful for it. be thankful that i was able to meet the people i've met, do the work i've done, and learn what i've learned.

anyways, i just needed to get that off my chest. don't know why, but i felt like i had to. i'm off to a dinner get together with rachael and tom. good stuff.

love you all. have a good week.
