Half of a Half!

Today marks the day that my best friend and love of my life has been gone for 6 months!!! Time is starting to speed up and life has adjusted. There is always going to be a place in my heart for that wild African though! within the last 6 months, summer faded to winter, Friday turned to girls night, and school is 10 hours long (by choice) a day! I feel like I have gone from being 25 to 19 and it's been kind of a youthful experience. haha I wonder what the next 6 months will hold? 


This has been quite the sacrifice that has left its mark! But I know that someday, somehow God will make this sacrifice all worth it, and everything lost will be made up for. Forever is a long time, I guess 2 years is not even a dent!

"You are making a sacrifice, but it is not a sacrifice because you will get more than you give up, you will gain more than you give, and it will prove to be an investment with tremendous returns. It will prove to be a blessing instead of a sacrifice. No one who ever served this work as a missionary, who gave his or her best efforts, need to worry about making a sacrifice because there will come blessings into their lives as individuals for as long as he or she lives."
