"Come down from the mountain, you have been gone too long..."
are the lyrics to my current favorite song (by the way, Dad, I'm planning to include this cd when I mail your package -- I think you'll love it.), and I find it pretty applicable, as I've finally ended my debating about next year in favor of heading back to the good old USA!
ok, so the song doesn't totally fit. But I do feel like for me Hungary has been a mountain-top experience -- a definite highlight of my life.I absolutely love working at ICSB and living in Hungary. I love these kids, this community, this culture... I truly have been incredibly happy here.
It will be pretty heart-breaking to leave, honestly.
But after much prayer, I've decided that returning is truly what I'm supposed to do next. I don't have the support to come back for another year, and it's hard to ask for more when people are already giving so sacrificially even during difficult times. But even more importantly, I've been struck by the need to be near my family right now. My three remaining grandparents are getting older, and I want to spend some time with them -- which is pretty difficult to do with an ocean between us.
So I'll be back home in June!
I'd appreciate your prayers, as I have no idea what I'll be doing next, which kind of terrifies me. So if any of you know of amazing job openings, let me know. I'm also considering maybe returning to Hungary in the future, but I'm just not sure what will really happen. I do know it will be hard to leave here, so please be praying that I'll use the rest of my time here wisely so I can leave with no regrets!

wow paula, i know that's a big decision for you, but trust me I understand!!
Look forward to having you around for next b-ball season, lake trips and anything in b/t...
I'm so glad your time there has been a mountaintop for you - I wouldn't have it any other way!
But Dad and I and the rest of us here are indeed ready for you to come down and join us by the fire again!
:)

You have been on one mountain top, I am sure the next one will be even higher... OH just to have you HOME for a while.

If you want to teach let me know. I can keep and eye out for you in my school system (Chapel Hill/Carrboro City Schools. I will be praying for you.
I am sure that your next adventure will be a mountain that will need some climbing. But I have no fear that you will be able to make the steps! :).
I am simultaneously sad and happy. I know it's a hard decision and I am sad for ICSB and Hungary (and you) that you are leaving. I am happy because maybe I can see you (HOORAY!) and because that is what you feel led to do, so I am happy about it. I miss you and ICSB. When you come home, I really want to see you and give you a hug! You can even watch my wedding video if you really want to:)
