here we are.

Oh Gillingham. You draw me back every time.
This town, has captured me from the moment I arrived in the year I came out of high school.
The drop in centres, the youth, the community, the need, the people.
And since then if I haven't been there, I have been dreaming of being there.
And now the wait is over.
It's my time to go back.
And in eight short days I will once again be there.

It has been a dream. Five weeks ago I left my full-time retail job, with the hope of finding out where I was headed, my purpose, and to cement a plan for my life.
And here I am, preparing to go back to England, with a one way plane ticket and a two year working visa.

The thought of being somewhere where I know I am meant to be, where I know amazing things will happen, working towards something bigger than me, fills me with such a huge feeling of excitement and freedom but also is so daunting. I never knew that sometimes when a dream becomes reality, no matter how long you have hoped for it to happen, stepping into it is still terrifying.
But I know that Jesus never lets me down and has been with me every step of the way so far.
Mindblowing.

It's going to be such a journey.
And I truly can't wait.
