I am on my way to England.
I am on the way to something new.
This is a new season.

I have been thinking continuously about the seasons of life. My friend once showed me a part of a book by Donald Miller that really got me thinking.. and touched my heart. It resonated many of my own ideas of life. I have been using some of his idea's to explain to people why England and my hope for a mission filled future is on my heart so often. But.. also, being.. home, part of one community, having lasting friend, and appreciating the small, simple things of life.
So, enough said from me.. here is Donald Miller, an amazing writer.

"And so my prayer is that your story will have involved some leaving and some coming home, some summer and some winter, some roses blooming out like children in a play. My hope is your story will be about changing, about getting something beautiful born inside of you about learning to love a woman or a man, about learning to love a child, about moving yourself around water, around mountains, around friends, about learning to love others more than we love ourselves, about learning oneness as a way of understanding God. We get one story, you and I, and one story alone. God has established the elements, the setting and the climax and the resolution. It would be a crime not to venture out, wouldn't it?

It might be time for you to go. It might be time to change, to shine out.

I want to repeat one word for you:
Leave.

Roll the word around on your tongue for a bit. It is a beautiful word, isn't it? So strong and forceful, the way you have always wanted to be. And you will not be alone. You have never been alone. Don't worry. Everything will still be here when you get back. It is you who will have changed."
