Yesterday, I said my first goodbye to a reader. I was touched by how disappointed Nastya was when we had to say goodbye. She took awhile to warm up to me but in our last few sessions, she has been so open and willing to tell me all about her life and beliefs. I hope I was a blessing to her. It is amazing how quickly a relationship can form when you share God's love with another person. I am surprised how quickly Bila Tserkva has come to feel like a second earthly home to us. Nathan and I both hope that God will return us to Bila Tserkva in the future. We came here to share with others and to hope plant seeds to change in people's hearts, but God has used this time to change our lives and hearts as well. While I still have many more goodbyes to say, I know it is not goodbye forever. The internet is a wonderful thing in that it allows us to keep in contact with our new friends here. It is most reassuring to know that, Lord willing, I may see many of my readers not just in the future here on earth but in our eternal home in heaven. I look forward to that day when language barriers do not exist and we can praise God together with one voice.
