As my mother used to say, “Honesty is the best policy.”
It’s strange to have had so many comments deriding my “openness,” and then to have others begging for me to write “how I really feel.”

ewinwe,
Great questions. Those are the practical things that I rarely have discussed on this blog. I think I’m going to make my answer a new post.

my mind wanders now over a few small details, and i’d love to hear your thoughts on them …

now that you are leaving the organization, and leaving the country where you serve, what will happen to the people whom you have worked with (the nationals) and what are you leaving them to go on with (the big ‘reproducibility question)?

who is going to continue your work once you leave? is your team strong enough to keep the momentum going? have you all picked a new team-leader?

do you feel that God has led you from point A to point B to point C, but may eventually lead you back to point B (at some point)? that asks a lot of you with regards to the will of God, but i’m just curious.

i hope and pray that this all works out for you.

ewinwe

Trouble is, most folk don't know how to be honest without being an asshole. Honesty doesn't come without certain relational considerations like deference, kindness, and discretion. Me, I'd rather not leave a smoldering trail behind me and turn around several years later and wonder what that awful burning smell was.
