HOLY COW. This coming week will be
week 11, then I’m headed home! I am still in disbelief of how fast this has
gone by. It seems like it wasn’t so long ago that I got into this frozen, cold
place without my luggage.
This experience has helped me grow
SO MUCH. I have gone three months without seeing any of my family, well
anything that is familiar. I missed out on lambing season at home for the first
time, and I haven’t seen the Mountaineers play a basketball game since they
beat Oklahoma in the beginning of January (one of the most memorable games I’ve
EVER been to). I must also say that it has made me lose some things as well,
such as a pant size. Lifting these bales and walking an average of 2 miles per
day has definitely helped! However, I think that one of the most impactful
things that have come out of this is that I have grown so much closer to God.
I am very much a routine oriented
person. When I got here and I had no semblance of a routine, it stressed me
out! I finally got into a routine where I would do some Bible study and say a
little prayer before heading out of a morning. When I started working with the
sheep, it felt like I was constantly praying and asking God to help me get the
lambs out of the ewe, or to help me get a lamb to live. I am so thankful that
this experience has taught me and helped me grow closer to God, because I feel
more at ease because of it. I sure miss my Sunday’s at church, but I still
think spending time with God every day has helped me so much.
This is going to be a shorter post,
and I promise to do a full recap of this whole ordeal the week I get back. I do
ask that since I seem to have the worst luck flying (going in circles around
Pittsburgh, and losing my bags) that you keep me in your prayers on the 27th
so that everything goes as well as possible. Hopefully the 3rd time
is the charm!
Also: LET'S GO MOUNTAINEERS!
