Yesterday was my goodbye party. Thankfully there are 4 other girls leaving the same time as me, so I could share my party with them. It made it so much better! They gave me a scrapbook with goodbye notes from all the people I worked with and a cook book with traditional Dutch foods, so I can make them at home. All the recipes have pictures with them and they all look so good. I'm excited to try some out.
Yesterday was also my last CS shift. It was sad to say goodbye, but it's been such a difficult job for me that I'm glad to hand it over to the new people. Tonight we also had my last hostel night. So many things happening. I have a few things left to do I'm my list and then I'll be ready to come home. I was reading in Psalms a month or so ago and read Psalm 16. I realized that this is the Psalm for my time here.
Keep me safe, O God,
for in you I take refuge.
I said to the Lord, "You are my Lord;
apart from you I have no good thing."
As for the saints who are in the land,
they are the glorious ones in whom is all my delight.
The sorrows of those will increase who run after other gods.
I will not pour out their libations of blood or take up their names on my lips.
Lord, you have assigned me my portion and my cup;
you have made my lot secure.
The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
surely I have a delightful inheritance.
I will praise the Lord, who counsels me;
even at night my heart instructs me.
I have set the Lord always before me.
Because he is at my right hand,
I will not be shaken.
Therefore my heart is glad and my toungue rejoices;
my body also will rest secure,
because you will not abandon me to the grave,
nor will you let your Holy One see decay.
You have made known to me the path of life;
you will fill me with joy in your presence,
with eternal pleasures at your right hand.
