The end

It's taken me a month to get around to writing this post. I don't really know how many people look at this blog for updates, so you may not have been waiting. However, it is the end. It's the end of my time in Mexico, it's the end of my AIM experience, it's the end of my daily routines and constant bilingual lifestyle. It's the end. I struggled so much in Mexico. Honestly, most of it could have been avoided if I didn't try to fix everything. I wasn't looking for ways to improve my situation, I was looking for ways to improve everyone else's; because maybe if everyone else was ok, then I'd have time to worry about me. Which was exhaustive. I made zero progress improving other peoples lives because I can't do that- that's a choice that they have to make. How naïve of me. So now it's the end. I want this transition time to also be the end of my mental strain. I have the capacity to problem solve and help people and who knows what else. It's time for me to train myself to do those things, but in the correct order.
So much good came from my time in Mexico. I've made friends, I've learned Spanish, I've helped people, I've served... Praise God! But just because I've left Mexico, doesn't mean it's the end of my ministry there. It also a great opportunity to find a way to minister here. Wherever here is. It's not about me or what I think I can do, or where I think is best. It's the end of one adventure, opening the door to another.
