Lessons Learned.

{so many lovely cookbooks}

So the time has come for me to return home- yay!

I.ve learned a lot in the past 9 months that will stick with me, such as-
.

- More about farming, tractors, and all other farm equipment than I ever thought I would -
.
- All of the words to the theme songs of every cbbc show as well as all of the characters names - 
.
and perhaps on a more serious note
- how to prepare and cook a chicken -
{don.t worry- I cooked it after the photo was taken}
All of that as well as an assortment of other highly valuable life lessons that I get the sense, I will continue to learn and profit from for a long while yet. 

Now, for the questions I know a lot of you will want answers to- 

- How do I feel about coming home? -
Absolutely thrilled!
Don.t get me wrong, I love Ireland and have loved living here. Everything I have done, the experiences I have had- they.re invaluable. 
However, my heart craves family, friends, & all things familiar- I am quite ready to be home for however long God keeps me there. 

- What's next?
Honestly- not a clue.
There.s something slightly thrilling about that- the possibilities are endless!
Yes, that can be slightly overwhelming when considered in the wee hours of the night, but I.m trusting God has things well in hand for me.
{'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far, And grace will lead me home. The Lord has promised good to me, His Word my hope secures }
I have a few thoughts as to the direction but no definite presently.

So for now, I.ll be on holiday- catching up with family and friends- while I start to investigate the various options presenting themselves.
