"Another summer day has come and gone away in Paris and Rome, but I wanna go home..."
For the first time in my life, I understand exactly the lyrics of this song. It made me cry the other day. And for the first time since I moved out nearly 9 years ago, I am so happy to go home.
In just 5 days, I will be back on Canadian soil, having completed another chapter of my life, and ready to figure out the next one. The french chapter turned out to be a little shorter than expected, but I really feel good about all that I have learned and experienced and become while here. I have been soooooooo blessed!! And all because my life turned upside down, I finally hit bottom, and turned it all over to the Lord.
I have never felt so much peace and confidence in the midst of so much uncertainty. I am homeless, jobless, broke, and single..... and I feel great:)
I will soon have a little more time on my hands to catch you up on all my adventures and insights of the past months, and I look forward to re-living it a little. I cannot express how bewildered I am by all this. I feel so humbled. I never would have imagined myself at this point a year ago, and I can't wait to see where I'll be a year from now!
Thank you for all your encouragement, support, contact, and well-wishes. I truly have some of the best friends in the world - all over the world!!
I don't think I'll ever stop counting my blessings, there are far too many. And all this came from one of the most devastating experiences of my life. God truly is a God of miracles, and His plan is perfect!
