Farewell from Kara

Being in India has been a really amazing experience. I am aware it’s been a really short time but so much has happened in me in that short time. Unfortunately, I have been fighting this feeling that I need to be at home for most of my time here. I have sought out advice from others, prayed over and over about it and I the feeling remains. I waited it out, gave it a couple more days as most people suggested – didn’t go away. The only way I was able to find peace was when I considered the idea of leaving at an earlier date.

 

So that’s what happened. I will be coming home in the next week and as sad as it is to leave the girls (believe me it seems like an impossible task to tell them I am leaving early), it feels right. In changing the date I have been able to allow myself to fully be present with the girls and throughout my days. 

I have written lists and lists of the amazing things that have happened here and will gladly share those with you sometime :) There is nothing here that makes me want to go and nothing in particular at home that is drawing me home, it’s just an overwhelming feeling that I need to be there so I am finally doing what people always tell me, taking care of myself and listening to my body. I’m coming home. 

 

Thank you all so much for your prayer and support during my time preparing for this journey and my time here. Continue to pray for Vicky and Lisby, we need all we can get :)

 

Kara
