I've had a life of changes,
One that never stayed the same for long.
I have sometimes wished it wasn't so,
But my life is why I'm so strong.
I grew up as a small town girl,
And thought that was the life for me.
Little did I know what lay ahead,
And the woman that I would one day be.
When I was 11 years old my life changed,
We moved from Kansas to the jungle in Brazil.
I never thought that dad would ever be a missionary,
But I guess he and I both had a role to fill.
So then I became a MK (A mission kid)
But it didn't stop there for me.
Now days, I have lost the 'kid'
And just stick with being a missionary.
My life is always changing even now,
But I have gotten used to that.
Now I wouldn't trade this life for anything,
Because I sure do love where I'm at.

I can relate to what you must have felt when you moved, as I have moved around many times myself. I'm happy that you have found contentment
.
Well done and good luck!
