"Te echos de menos"

As the end approaches, I am starting to have mixed feelings. Te echo de menos, means I miss you! I love this phrase because it isn't a direct translation :) The past couple of days have been rough. I signed up for my classes for next semester at Winona State and it made me realize a whole lot of things.
1. I am graduating in ONE year.
2. I am student teaching in ONE year.
3. I only have ONE semester of schooling left.
4. I only have 8 more classes to take at Winona State.
5. I miss my family SO much. It's getting to that point, where I just MISS them SO much and there is nothing that anyone can say or do to fix it.
6. I miss NICK. It's hard, because I am used to being in Winona with him and always available to help him or give him advice.

However, I have a friend here in Spain that has helped me with ALL of this. This person is wonderful. Always there for me and supports me through everything... Today, they told me this..

 "Everyone has all these problems and you have no idea what people are going through. Have full trust that God knows exactly what he is doing. God doesn't want you to worry about what others are thinking, he wants you to be free from these chains." 

"When you give him glory you put him before you and you humble yourself. He desires the glory for your own good, when we give him glory, he gives it back." 

"Your actions, all your actions, add up."

"Your life is a daily choice."

"It's a daily struggle to do what God calls you."

"Live in the spirit and you will not live in the sinful nature."

Thank you. This person is incredible. When I am close to this person, I can feel my spirit growing. I feel closer to God, when I am near this person. Thank you. I am so proud of myself for traveling through this journey. There has been plenty of bumps and curves and I am sure there are going to be plenty more. BUT that is what is making me stronger and that is what I need; to become a better person. Thank you God, for giving me this experience, to become closer to you. 

Sierra Navadas, here in Granada. Thank You God.
I see you in all aspects of my life and so thankful for all of them.
