One month

So it's been just about a month since I've dropped Tad, Matt, and Erin off in Florida. It seems like forever ago but yet like yesterday. I really do miss them all.

What I miss most is knowing what's going on in their lives. I miss meeting with Erin every week to just talk about what God's been teaching us. I miss Matt sharing RA and CSF leadership experiences with Matt. We often seem to be on the same page with our thoughts on many issues. But most of all (big surprise here) I miss Tad.

I miss just talking to him about random things like how I couldn't give blood or showing off my new hair cut. I also miss hearing about what God is teaching him. It's hard to know absolutely nothing about what's going on. Sure there are updates and things and I know what they are doing but I want to know how he feels about it. What are the things that he likes the most about Russia? What is the thing he misses the most? What has God been showing him? What is the funniest thing that's happened to their group? These are all things that I want to know. It's hard to not be part of this part of his life.

On the other hand I know deep down inside that this is what's BEST for both of us. I'm sure that without the distraction of me God is teaching him many things. I know that I've learned a few things too. Right now He's teaching me to have a humble, servant's heart. I know it's for the best but it doesn't make it any easier.

Oh well I'll just give it all over to God and let him be my peace and joy.

And I'll leave a week from tomorrow to go to Russia :) only to come back and again and leave my friends there for a couple more weeks. We won't think about that now. God can teach me something new then!
