Do you guys ever feel like time is moving at a different speed than what it normally does? The last five minutes of a class can seem to take forever, but, when your mom tells you you have five more minutes with your friend before you have to leave, it seems to be over before it started.
That's kind of what the last two months -- and the next three months -- feel like to me.
Because I've been doing lots of stuff, it kind of seems like I've been back in the Tri-Cities for a long time, and it seems like I have lots of time left before I go to Kenya. Three months sounds like a long time, right?
But it also seems like I haven't been back hardly at all. I was gone for way longer than I've been back for, and lots of things have happened while I was away.
This Sunday, the fourth and fifth graders are going to be talking about how it's sometimes hard to follow Jesus. Sometimes He asks you to do things that just aren't easy.
Going to Kenya is one of those things for me. I'm really excited to go, and I'm really excited to see what God is going to do. But, leaving all of my friends and my family again -- for sixteen months this time -- is going to be hard at first.
It's a good thing that we can know that, wherever God sends us, that is the very best place that we could possibly be.
