I say... DO IT! Living overseas is an extremely stretching yet rewarding experience. You learn to function in a place and with people that are different than you and that in itself is a huge skill to know how to do that well. It's a long time away from family but challenges you in intentionality with those that you hold dear. The space will not break your closest relationships but maybe it will make them even stronger! it did for me :) GoCorps did a great job in setting me up well to support raise and come out the other end encouraged. GoWeek was also so encouraging to be around and hear the stories of others that may so nearly reflect your own. This experience taught me more about grace and humility. It exposed my pride and then forced me into Jesus's arms in my uncomfortability time and time again. And what's wonderful is that God used it all, all my shortcomings, my struggles, and floppy attempts as well as the times where my skills were being used and displayed. It is all used, none of it wasted, for His Glory! Whoof, that's a load off for sure. (Jan. 2024)
