'Cause I'm leaving


… on a jet plane
I don’t know when I’ll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go”
Except I’m leaving a on a train
and I’ll be back around August 14th
but in all honesty right now I am not excited about going
A couple weeks ago I started the process of “phasing out” of the ministries I work with. And it has been rather painful for me. I’m having to slowly give up everything I love so that when I leave in two months I don’t leave a void. All the new and exciting things that are happening, well I’m not a part of them.
Even though I’m phasing myself out of everything I find myself extremely busy. Turns out that raising other people up to take my place is a lot of work on my part. I find I’m spending more time training others then anything else. Hopefully this will be fruitful though and in a month and a half I will have trained them so well that they can actually take over.
The last time I left Greenville I was an early high school graduate who spent most of her time working. Hardly any friends and wasn’t on good terms with my family. But now it’s the opposite; I spend most of my time volunteering, with local ministries, doing what I love and working as a photographer. I have a ton of really close friends (more than I think I’ve ever had … never really been one to have close friends ; I didn’t like to let people in) and I don’t think my mom and I have ever been closer.
