Wrapping up

Tomorrow is commissioning service. 

I know that tomorrow will be one crazy day so here's the wrap up/reflections on my time at FPO (aka Farm/compound)

I can't believe 2 months have gone by so fast... When I first arrived here at the farm, I was very anxious and wanting to go home but now that the time has come, it's sad that I will have to say goodbye to everyone. I remember not really liking this place and having a closed mind and heart which I believe is what I've come to know as "spiritual warfare." However, as time went on, I stopped being so pessimistic about this place and letting the Lord in and having an open heart, because after all, it's not about me but for the Big Poppa--and voila, I actually ended up liking my time here and now it's time to go :( 

In this short period of time, I've made such good friends and I can't express how blessed I am to have gotten to know them... Not only that, I have been blessed to hear awesome speakers teach us so many things! I definitely have a big toolbox with loads of stuff to take with me :) 

So far no cry-fest... but that might change soon!

It's really hard to explain what I'm feeling right now. I'm pretty sure everyone here is pretty much going through a jambalaya and roller coaster of emotions.
Right now this is me: 
-happy (that I'm going home, and see everyone)
-sad (to say goodbye to everyone here and saying goodbyes AGAIN back at home)
-excited/nervous/scared (to go on the field)! 
-annoyed (about saying goodbyes part 2... I just don't like saying goodbyes, so sad)

It's just very poopy that once you start getting comfortable at one place you have to pack up your bags and go to the next place. I know that the farm can get a little too much but looking back, I have made some good memories here :)

Things I'll miss:
-friends :(
-WEers [WE is the best!]
-hanging out in the hallway
-singing 
-riding in cars with like a gazillion other people just to get out of the farm
-ELBERT!!!!!

Things I won't miss:
-the food (except the dinner rolls yum!)
-coffee
-waking up at the crack of dawn and being in session all day long

I thank God for letting me grow so much in these past 2 months and I pray that I will continue to grow in Him and that I will be able to be bold and strong on the field!

Ya'll are all in my prayers!

Tune in to my next post: PICTURES PICTURES PICTURES!

AFTER TOMORROW, I WILL OFFICIALLY BE A "MISSIONARY"! haha ewe I don't like that word...
