Indescribable
The last month has been one filled with wonder and marvelling at God's love for me. Christmas and the New Year were perfect events that I would not want to change a single detail of, Meta camp opened my eyes to a new side of myself that I never knew, and things that I could do, with a wacky group of new friends that came along with it. The last few days have also been a whirlwind of sleepovers, long conversations, tacky lists, surprise farewells, endless meetups, lunches, teas, dinners and suppers and many photo-taking memories.
I could not thank God enough for these Christmas holidays, for friends - new ones and old, for family and for the many survival kits thoughtfully crafted out as I embark on this surreal dream in four hours time.
I have been prayed for, and with, probably more than a normal exchange student, and I know I'm covered with God's shield of protection and loving care, but those tears at the thought of leaving home for the first time still threaten to fall. My family, friends, the GGs, church, Crusade. But that's me, and that mindset will probably change after a few weeks of settling in. I look forward to walking along the cold, bustling streets with some Hong Kong snack in hand, and poking around at the secret shopping centre, with wanton mien soon after.
I will go where you send me, Lord
Jesus, my whole life, God, is Yours
And I believe His amazing love will continue to shine through even as I embark on the Hong Kong dream, as Gen puts it, to the land with six prawns per wanton.
