Fall is coming to an end and old-man-winter will be visiting soon. I've enjoyed autumn in Sendai more than any other fall I can remember. The colors of the changing leaves have been gorgeous! As my friend Laura said, some trees looked like they had red hearts in the center and then they would almost bleed into orange, yellow and green. It's hard to explain. The best part is this season lasted for about 2 months, which was so welcomed after a hot and humid summer. Crazy! In MN it seems like fall comes and goes in about 2 weeks, so this was a nice change.
As much as I'm enjoying the weather, I've decided to leave this job at the end of March. There are too many reasons to mention, but overall it's just not a good fit. I adore my students and will miss them so much. It will be hard to say goodbye, but I'm also optimistic that the next adventure will bring blessings that I can't understand yet. I just need to keep moving on and take one step at a time. Prayers for direction and wisdom as I seek His will in the next season of my life.
