Really, I have 5ish months left. That seems like a long time. In a sense it is, but in another, not. This is one season of my life. A period of 9 months total, 5 remaining, in comparison to the rest of my life. I don’t think I’ve even given up any opportunities in my real life back home. Maybe opportunities that I want for myself. But this is God’s will that I am here. I also believe it is God’s will for me to be a part of the church in Peru. I don’t think I had to sacrifice part of God’s will for me at home to fulfill a different part of His will here in Masters. I believe it is in God’s perfect will that I am participating in Masters and NOT doing things in the Illinois Valley at this point in time. There are things I want to do back home and still hope to do. Just because I’m not doing them right now, I don’t think that means it’s not God’s will. I think it just means I need to get myself ready for the rest of my life and when Masters is over, I can do the things back home that I want so badly to do. I don’t think it’s a matter of whether or not it’s God’s will, just a matter of His timing.

It’s not THAT long. I’ll keep telling myself that…
