Tangle of Tears

In and out of tears of joy, tears of sorrow, and tears of being overwhelmed, I have already learned so much in just two short months:

I have learned thatI'm not as independent as I once thought I was. 

I've learned a new relationship with my Creator. 

I've learned how to better take care of my friends who have chosen the long-term life overseas. 

I have learned how to pray more effectively. 

I have learned patience in a completely new way. 

I have learned tolerance and acceptance of different worldviews. 

I have learned how much I depend on material things, and how much I shouldn't. 

I have learned a deep friendship from strangers and instant acceptance. 

I have learned what it means to truly take care of someone. 

And I don't doubt more lessons are to come.
