This past Monday has been the hardest day on my race so far. Monday morning I along with my squad packed our bags and left Jaco. Leaving Jaco however was not hard. Leaving my team leaders in Jaco was the hardest thing I've done in recent memory. When I first met them I had no idea what their role even was so there was no way that I could've known how large of an impact they would have on my faith. They called me to walk higher out of love for me. They showed me Christ. They showed me how to have a personal relationship with the King of kings. And now they bring me to tears when I dwell on the sweet memories I have with them all. In the past 24 hours I've had to say goodbye to two men who played incredibly large roles in my life and that was equally as hard. The new heart God has given me is much better than my last. It loves bigger and deeper. But because of that goodbyes have become much harder. I love all of my team leaders so much. Samson showed me how to walk in love and forgiveness. Kaylin showed me how to walk boldly and in God given authority. Kay showed me how to be gentle and caring. Marissa showed me how to love impartially and how personal God is. Hannah showed me how to be filled up with the Lord and overflow His joy. Luis showed me how to abide in God and how to walk in the garden. I will miss them all very much. I'll miss Samson's jokes, Kaylins voice, Kays mannerisms, fighting Marissa, beating Hannah in boardgames, and Luis' laugh. God gives and takes away all according to His plan for us. Trust the story.
