The most difficult thing to experience, in my personal opinion, is being away from the people you care about. That is unfortunate for me, because I have people I care about in southern California, in Washington, Idaho, Oregon, Louisiana, Germany, and elsewhere. But now, I am beginning to care about people in Illinois. To develop relationships and friendships here. That doesn't make the homesickness go away, it doesn't make me miss mountains any less, but it does show me the goodness of God. The God of relationships, I mean, at the end of the day, that is a huge part of what He is about isn't it? The relationship between us and Him, once severed now made whole. The relationship where we were once lost but now we are found. Its that relationship that gives me the encouragement to get up and keep going. Its that relationship that makes the transition easier and the homesickness a little bit better. This is what makes me excited to stay here in Lincoln, and begin to see what new adventure this will be and what that will begin to look like as I seek to serve in Illinois.
