I really need to start packing. I have two weeks left in Boston and my schedule is being filled with appointments to spend time with people before I leave. I feel like it’s important to start packing now, since I am filling up my evenings and time will be scarce.
I have a number of mixed feelings. Part of me is just thrilled with the new adventure that God is bringing me on, for the next few years. Another part of me is anxious to get started, since I miss being a student. Finally, a large part of me is heartsick because I’m leaving the place I call home, and many people I love. All of these feelings are mine. It’s a bittersweet time.
There are some loose ends I need to tie up, some professional and some relational. It’s a bit overwhelming, but I am sheepishly trying to be realistic about it, taking it one day at a time.
I’ve already contacted several churches that I’m interested in visiting when I arrive in southern California. I’m excited to be a free agent, looking for a new community of believers to be blessed and bless others at.
