My How Time Flies...

Dear Blog,

I am so sorry that I have not written you in so long. The past year has been a blur.



Well, if you are reading this then that means I actually sent out the newsletter that I am currently only in the planning stages of sending out to let you know about my upcoming trip to Turkey and you might have seen this link on the newsletter. I'll make sure and post some pictures and stories on here after I return in March from Turkey.

My sweet Turkey. I can hardly believe that it has been over a year since I returned to America. 2 years doesn't seem like that significant of a portion of life, but I have spent a few minutes just now going back through pictures and stories on here of all I experienced...and I have spent a year being home trying to wrap my mind around my journey and let it take root into the place He desired for it to dwell in my heart and I have to correct myself. 2 years can be a pretty significant piece of life if you let it. I know I'm an emotional girl at times, but sitting here reflecting, I am of course teary eyed. Turkey , you are forever a special place to me. I cannot wait to return to you for a week, my sweet city and the people who live in you that I have continued to love from afar and miss greatly...
