Our Last Week Home

OK. So I said that I wasn’t going to be “overdramatic” this week, but since it is our last week at home in Alabama, I think I get a pass. I want to express how much I love all of our friends and family and how very much I will miss you all. It’s hard to really appreciate someone until you know that you won’t have them around anymore. I think that I may have taken some of my friendships for granted. We get so caught up in day to day activities that we forget to take time to tell those that mean so much to us just how much they mean. Sometimes we feel that if we can’t get together with this person or return that phone call that we can always do it tomorrow. As I sit here and ponder this, I realize that my tomorrows are vanishing. Now, I realize that I can still keep in contact with all my friends and family, but gone are the days when I will be able to just go over to their house for coffee. Am I being “overdramatic” yet? Just wait, I will be. I feel so honored that God would chose my little family to go to such a beautiful place and share His love, but I am going to miss you all so very, very much. I don’t know what to expect when we get there, but I do know that God will provide for us. We really do believe Jeremiah 29:11. I don’t know what’s in store, but I do know that it will be great! I am so happy to be going, but am so sad to leave all of you. Please forgive me if I cry for no apparent reason. I just love you all too much not to grieve a little.
