Hi Friends!!!!
Well this is it probably! My last blog before Houston and my adventure to the place where everything is always bigger! My emotions are crazy and all over the place but my heart is standing on the promise that this is what I am supposed to be doing. I can’t believe that only three days from now I will be boarding a plane and meeting my team. My head is spinning with to-do lists, last minute visits with good friends, prayers that fill my broken but excited heart as I say goodbyes to the people who have been family to me for the past four years. I don’t know how often I stand back and see the impact people have had on my life, until I have to think about leaving. I have truly been blessed!
I will be authentic and tell you these past two weeks have been difficult. Things keep coming up, little things, huge things and somehow I have become this big ball of emotions. These last days have been worse. At one point this summer, I remember being this way; struggling to keep it together and be excited for what was to come. Please, don’t get me wrong, I am so thrilled for Houston, and come Friday when I step off that plane, I will be beyond ready and excited, but for now, I struggle. I get emotionally about saying goodbyes and the fact that I won’t be around for so long. On top of that, everything is changing! People are transitioning, the Lord is moving, and while we think it is always going to be butterflies and unicorns, it is HARD! We all are confident in the things the Lord is calling us to. He has been BEYOND faithful to show this, but a part of us longs to keep it the same. Goodbyes are difficult, dare I say one of the hardest things to do (top 5 in my book), but once they are said and God sweeps in to comfort our hearts, we are able to embrace the will of our ever-loving God as we walk hand in hand to the next adventure.
So here I am, eyes slowly back to normal after the hour of crying I did right before I laid down and relaxed in the Lord’s arms. There are still many goodbyes to say, but I know God is with me in each. I continue to thank him for the family and the friends that I have in this life and all that he has done for me and will do for me as I move to Houston!
Love D
so long, farewell…..
