I was at a friend's house last night and for some strange reason, I picked up my cell phone to count the days until Sept. 15th...the day I'm hoping to get to leave the States for India! I realized that meant I was leaving in. 40. DAYS! CRAZY!
In the last couple of weeks I have felt so many different emotions about all of it, but after wondering what they all were about I think I realized I was grieving. I didn't really realize it until I had come into the final "acceptance" stage, but I really think that I have grieved leaving Norman. I LOVE my life here. I love my friends, my job, and all of the families I have gotten to be apart of. I have loved especially this last year watching God move and getting to a part of what He's doing in Norman and some many other places around the world! Somebody told me once that He doesn't move fast, but I think I have begun to wonder about this. This past year has been a whirlwind! BUT I have LOVED every second of it!
Well. I guess that's all for now!
Love everyone. Thanks for praying for me and loving me so well!
Love,
Brooke
This is a picture of all my friends who went through a discipleship class called Equip with me! I love all of them so so much! To finish off our class we went on an outreach to Haiti together, and we had a WONDERFUL time!
These are my friends the Hartsocks! Kourtney took this picture before we left for a conference with all of the missionaries from Antioch. I flew with them to Colorado for an awesome 10 days at Keystone!
These were all of the people at the conference! It was really so so fun to get to see all of them and see how much they were really like a family! They are spread out all over the globe loving Jesus and His people, but it was like a family reunion when they all got together! It was so fun to watch them encourage each other! I couldn't help but think about how i would feel about seeing my discipleship class after we are all dispersed over the globe and how excited I would be to see them! I love so much that I got to be a part of this amazing week!
