Well, here I am again. Still not quite making my goals that I set, but that's okay. Life just happens sometimes, doesn't it? This last month has taken me on another whirlwind. My small group leader- and very, very dear friend - announced 5 weeks ago that she and her family were moving to Alabama. WHAT?!?!?! And they would be leaving soon. Here husband is our youth pastor and will be taking a senior pastor position at their new church. I knew that it would happen someday, just not that fast and not this soon.
Well, that sometime soon is going to be this coming Monday. Yuck! I am so sad to see them go. I have fallen in love with their whole family (they have 2 kids that are close to the same ages as mine). I feel like they are just an extension of my family and now they are leaving. Can I just say, "WAAAAAHHHHH!"? I have been trying to spend some time with her this week while I help her pack and it has been wonderful. Not many tears yet, but I am sure those are to come.
Our small group had a "last supper" with her this last week. It was really nice. We all brought something to eat and just talked, cried and laughed a lot. I wish that all of us could have been there - 3 of us were sick - but we still had a good time.
Well, that's it for now. Kiddos have to get to school soon and I gotta go pack and probably shed a few tears. Thanks for stopping by!
