Not goodbye... But, Hello :)

If any of you reading this know me on a deeper level, then you know that I am not a girl that cries easily or very often at all. I rarely show deeper emotion such as that and if you have seen that side of me, then you are among a very few. That being said, I have been shocked in this past week- with so many "goodbyes" on the horizon- to find that my eyes have been stinging with the tears that I so often forbid them to shed. Knowing me on a deeper also means that you know I value friends and family more than anything else- other than The Father- and with SO many amazing people in my life, it breaks my heart to say goodbye to them. With that in mind, I've decided not to say goodbye, but hello instead. Hello to the amazing opportuniy of growth in all my existing relationships. Hello to the opportunity to share this incredible journey with all those whom support me and with all those whom I will reach in Ireland. Hello to the opportunity to build even more amazing relationships than the ones the Lord has already blessed me with. And finally, Hello to the opportunity to share the greatest love of all with those who don't know it. So, no, I will not say goodbye. I will say hello to opportunity, to change, to growth, to adventure, and to God's leading. HELLO!
