"Denmark.  I can't believe that I was there 3 days ago.  What?  It seems like an alternate universe.  It's kind of strange to me; I feel like I loved my time there very much--I love Christina, Bo, Christian, Joachim, Amalie, I loved my classes and professors and the whole academic experience, I loved København, I loved the people I grew with-Bible Study, Nshunge, Rachel, Assiyah, I loved that I grew A TON, I ove that I got to see so many places and meet so many awesome people.  I loved the whole experience deeply and Denmark will always have a special place in my heart, and more than that, still be part of my everyday life (what with tea, fresh bread, and breakfast chocolate...yum :) ).  But, I am not sad, well, not super sad, to be gone.  I feel like this incredible semester has been but a "stitch in time," it is where You led me for the last 4.5 months and where a lot of growing occurred.  It was precisely where You wanted me.  But now, it is no longer where I am meant to be, so therefore, it is a bit easier to not be sad; if You don't want me there, You want me somewhere else, and You have something good and joy-filled and You-filled there.  Yeah! Where You are, is where I want to be.  You wanted me home for these 4 days, and I am happily here.  You want me in Nicaragua and my heart is longing, is preparing to be there.  Thank You for these 4.5 months.  Thank You for all of the beautiful places and people in this world."~journal excerpt
