I have been home from NY for about 6 or 7 weeks now, this time has totally flown! I still feel like I'm just home, catching up with people for the first time in ages!
However I am going back in two weeks time to work with Metro Ministries fulltime as a staff worker for the Sidewalk Sunday School department! It is pretty crazy that I'm actually moving away.. but it won't be forever.. a year at least, and really how the Lord leads.
Tonight it really hit me that I'm leaving, I co-hosted a BBQ for my young people from church, and it was great. New people moving up as they start secondary school, and just catching up with the regulars I haven't seen since February.. they are so great and as I drove home it hit me... I am going to miss so much of home. I'm going to miss at least a year of these young ones life.. and now that has got me thinking.. hence why I am blogging.. purely for my own through process..
However, I believe in God's promise to me, in Mark 10:28-30..
Peter said to him, "We have left everything to follow you!" ...."I tell you the truth," Jesus replied, "no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospel will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this present age (homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields—and with them, persecutions) and in the age to come, eternal life."
I am leaving much behind for now, but there is so much I will gain...
if by any chance you are reading this before september 6th, please say a prayer for me as I get ready to leave, thanks

Hey Sarah, will be praying for you! I know all too well what it feels like to leave home - family and friends that you love - but I trust that God will be as faithful to you as He has been to us in our move and that despite the difficulties in leaving home, you will find great joy and comfort in your work in New York! Good on you for taking the step! Jen x
