“How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard”… Winnie the Pooh
July 28, 2011
I always thought that moving to Rwanda would be one of the most difficult things that I would ever do. But, to my surprise, leaving Rwanda has been so much harder. I have been blessed with an incredible adventure. God has taught me so much about myself, His creation, about His promises, about trusting Him, and about what an incredible gift it is to serve His kingdom. I have had the privilege of working with some amazing people and to be a tiny part of the incredible way that God is moving in Rwanda. I have had unbelievable support from my family, friends, and church body in America and Canada and every one of you have touched my life and the lives of others through this support. Thank you for joining me in this journey and for making all of it possible. Although it has been difficult, I leave with many fond memories and a piece of my heart will always be in Rwanda. I am excited about what the future holds and can only pray that the Lord wills for Rwanda to remain a big part of the picture.
Through a partnership with a Rwandan NGO I have the unbelievable blessing to stay involved in handicrafts and with some of the women I was working with. I will be hosting some fundraising events and jewelry sales to support these efforts. To learn more please email me at kat.watson7@gmail.com or check back on my blog.
I will be starting my new job on August 1st, and please join me in praying that I never lose the ache in my heart to do more for Rwanda and that I will always cherish the memories and remember the lessons learned.
I don’t think that anybody put it better than Winnie, I am so incredibly lucky to have had the relationships and the experiences that made saying goodbye so hard. I wouldn’t trade it for anything!!
