Goodbyes

It’s official – I detest goodbyes. Last night was my last night working with my incredible coworkers. As the end of my shift drew closer and closer, I found myself getting sadder and seriously rethinking my decision to leave. 🙂 I’ve had the most amazing experience the last year and a half. I’ve learned so much and built so many special friendships. How can it be otherwise when people’s lives depend on us knowing each other well enough to be able communicate with minimal words? I’m going to miss those people so much.

As I was getting ready to leave, one of my friends said something I found ironic. She said, “You’re leaving your comfort zone.” I didn’t realize until last night and I don’t know when it happened, but the ER has become my comfort zone!

I purchased my plane tickets and I fly out next Thursday, May 5th! I’m very excited, but you can continue to pray for me. I’m starting to feel torn. I know God has beautiful plans for me, but I don’t want to leave my family and friends.

I’m in the process of packing all of my stuff away in bins in a storage unit to get it out of the way for my family. I’ll be gone for about 3.5 months this time and I’ll reevaluate at that point. If everything goes well, I may go back long-term, or I may find God has other plans.

By the way, I’m fully funded for the next 3 months!! Thank you for being a part of my journey! It’s my goal to update Facebook and my blog on a regular basis over the next few months and I’d love to hear from all of you! I want to keep up with what’s going on in everyone else’s lives, as well! 🙂
