Here we are again!
At the same airport, waiting for a flight to a different destination from all the others flights I took before. Many things around me still the same: high prices for a cup of coffee and cheese bread, same view of the planes through the window, same suitcase and pillow. But deep inside I am not the same woman that left to other countries in the past. I'm different in so many ways. I've got stronger in areas that I have never thought I could be but on the other hand I've got more sensitive to the "good byes", because this time I needed to leave behind a world that was part of the healing process I went through. My heart has some scars (some not completely healed YET) that show to me and to the world around me how God's mercies and grace can change a hard and painful experience in something beautiful to testify His faithfulness. And it is in this Faithful God that I entrust my life, my heart, my future, my family. I'm leaving again and maybe it will be for a very short period of time, maybe not, but I'm pretty sure that the Hemelini that leaves Brasil today is different from the one that left in another occasions and definitely is different from the one that will return in few months. GOD IS GOOD! GOD IS FAITHFUL and His mercies are new every morning! Learning a new language, adjusting to a new country, new culture, serving with different people, being away from my family, friends and dogs again will be a challenge but I know, with all my heart that there is nothing too difficult for my Father! Not water too deep, not mountain too high. Nothing is impossible when you trust wholeheartedly in the One who loves you with an everlasting love and that will never let you go! I can say now that I'm grateful for everything because ALL THINGS work together for the good of those who love Him!!!
