Once again the lyrics of a song reflect well what is going on within me. As the time for me to leave Ghana draws closer and closer, my heart is a little heavier and the emotions are sitting right at the surface. Is it possible to be actually torn in two by conflicting emotions? Excitement and sadness, anticipation and fear, peace and doubt, eagerness and uncertainty...all jumbled together. I am so glad that God can make sense of that jumble and comfort me in just the way that is needed at the moment. I certainly don't have all the answers as to why I am leaving...at all, now...but He does. I will probably never know all the reasons, maybe some of them but He is trustworthy and faithful so I leave the whys with Him. Somewhere down the road it will make sense.

"Why, why, why
Does it go this way
Why, why, why
And all I can say is

Somewhere down the road
There'll be answers to the questions
Somewhere down the road
Though we cannot see it now
Somewhere down the road
You will find mighty arms reaching for you
And they will hold the answers at the end of the road"

Amy Grant
