Home Sweet Home ... Ish

Back home in Perth for the next few weeks. It's pretty crazy actually. The last few days have been really up and down. I really miss the YMT being around and always being with the team together. It's crazy how much you adjust to just having certain people and how that affects you when you're thrown into a crowd of people. Even though those 100 people are people I know, it's still so overwhelming. Sunday all the remaining teams got back (I got back Saturday afternoon) and as they were filing out of the buses I didn't know what to do with myself. As everyone was screaming and excited I suddenly just felt so lost and overwhelmed. It was ridiculous. And now that I'm getting used to having everyone back and having so much down time to think - I've started to think about saying goodbye, especially since I've already had to say goodbye to one of the YMT that we were with for the last month. It was so much harder than I thought it would be and now thinking about saying goodbye to people I've known for 6 months and have gone through so much with it just makes it that much harder to literally "embrace the last days."
It's also so weird because I'll be saying goodbye to everyone next week and then for 2 weeks there'll be like 2 of us YPers on base.
Right now the other stress I have is basically how I'm going to afford staying here for 3 weeks with the cost of the camp right now. Really trying to trust God with why He's sending me to this camp. It's hard because it's so close and I still don't know exactly what it entails but ya.. God's got it.. God's got it.
Prayer Requests:
- God will continue to speak about the future and confirm the direction I'm going in.
- wisdome about finances for the winter camp and staying on base

Thanks so much for everything. Keep praying please!
Peace
