I made it. My time in Dallas is over (for now) and I am back home with my family. The 20 hours on the road was tiring, but it gave me time to think back over all that happened this summer. Taking this step to go so far away for an extended period of time was difficult, no doubt about it. Honestly, there were times that were really hard. However, the good that has come from this experience far outweighs it all. The amount I have grown this summer in my relationship with Christ is substantial. All that I learned about ministry is extremely valuable. The personal growth I experienced is huge. I would definitely choose to do it all over again. It was hard to say goodbye, first to new friends I had made, then to the worship staff, and then to my cousins. Each one got harder and harder. Focusing on going home though really helped me to get through all the tears of the goodbyes. I am so relieved to be back and to continue what I learned in Dallas now here at home.
The summer is coming to a close, and my Senior year of school is about to begin. All that I have learned during this short experience will be carried over as I continue to grow. One small paragraph of my life has been written, now, on to the next! I can't wait to see the continuation of this story :)
