Ok, I have to admit that I’ve been in a relationship for a
year and a half now. Some of you know
this and some of you are going to be like WHHHAAAAT??? But now as I move to Honduras I have to let
her go and it’s not fun. A year and a
half ago I met her and knew immediately she was the one. I had been looking for a few years for her
and she finally came into my life. We
know everything about each other, we are like one when we are together. She is an extension of me. When she hurts, I hurt. When I hurt, she makes me feel better. She is sleek and beautiful, a sexy
stallion. She had just gotten out of a
relationship when we met. Her previous
man was in the military and was being sent to Hawaii, he just couldn’t afford
to bring her along…. or to ship her.
Like a knight in shining armor, I burst onto the scene and swept her off
her….tires. I cranked her up for the
first time, she started to say something after a minute but I stopped her and
said, “You had at VROOM!”. But I now
feel terrible, doing the same to her that the last guy did. Leaving the country and having to leave her
to start a new relationship, a new life, a new home, a new family. We had a lot of great adventures together but
now all we have are memories. As I sit
here, holding back the tears, I reminisce about our long trips together to the
beautiful Keys, to the great mountains of West Virginia, and to the amazing
back roads of Alabama and Tennessee. I
slept in her comfortable bucket seats and she helped me as I moved. Oh the memories…. But I’ll be ok, the dreams
of me shifting through her gears will soon subside and I’ll move on. But it’s for her own good, at least I’m
telling myself that, because she would never survive the roads of Honduras. It has been three days since I abruptly let
her know that she would be leaving me for someone else within an hour. When I word it like that it doesn’t make me
look as bad. I hope she is happy.
But on a serious note, things are progressing well. I have still not reached my goal of monthly
support but I am getting closer.
September 26th -30th looks like the date that I
will be leaving, with the 30th being the most likely day. I’m getting more excited everyday but the
reality that I’m leaving my family and friends is beginning to set in. I’m going to miss them and I wouldn’t be
doing this, leaving them, if I didn’t have a passion for Mololoa and didn’t
think that God wants me there. But I do
have a passion for the people and the work there and I fully believe that God
wants me there for the foreseeable future.
Please keep praying about this and I’ll keep you posted on how things
are going and if anything changes I’ll definitely let you know. If you know of anyone who would like to help
financially, please let me know and I will contact them. Now that I’ve sold my car I have moved one
step closer to moving. The money I got
for my car will go directly towards buying another vehicle in Honduras, which I
am told are a little more expensive than they are in the States. Other plans are coming together nicely, I
just have to reach my goal of support which I am sure will happen because I
believe God is working to make this happen.
