the middle of the end is near.

its started.
the goodbyes.

i've been dreading them all year. and now they are slowly arriving.
we had our last small group tonight.
it was good. we reminisced.
i didnt cry. i laughed a lot. but no tears.
'till i got home.
and i read her letter.
she somehow knows me so well.
she wrote exactly what i needed to hear. it meant so much.
i bawled.
i hate goodbyes.
there are just certain people who i dont want to have to say goodbye to.
i know that i have to, but i just dont want to.
i dont want to act like we will be close in years to come, when i know we probably wont. i want to stay close forever.
but if i did that i wouldnt be able to fully experience all god has in store.
so if its what he wants i will be willing to let go.
holding fast to the promise that he his holding on to me and has more in store than i can fathom.

  1. Good-byes are so hard. I hear you. Thanks for sharing your journey.
    Just a sister-stranger that appreciated your words.
    Good to know that He knew a lot about saying goodbye.
