I have so much on my mind and heart right now. We have a wonderful young lady from Spain staying with us for a month, summer activities, basketball camp, soccer camp, camping and...
In the next week my world is going to change. The Lord brought this wonderfully family into my life a little over one year ago, and in a few short days they will be on the road heading 16hrs away. I know that our friendship will remain, but my day to day life won't be the same. Who will inspire me to sew??? Who can I go get coffee with on a whim??? Who's wax warmer can I borrow??? No more walking down to say "hello". No, more harassment from my "brother"!!! And, George, oh how I'll miss him so. I know that God crossed our paths intentionally and I know that he is sending them away for his will, as well. I pray that they stay firm in his word and stay focused on his will. I also, pray that I can set an example for others as they have set example for me.
It's funny the emotions you go through when someone that means so much to you is not going to be your neighbor any longer...I've been sad, mad, sad, angry, sad, in denial, sad, irritated and sad ; )
I am happy that they will be closer to family and friends. And I am so excited to see how God blesses them for obeying his will.
Next road trip...Cali baby...
I am sorry that your friend is moving. I know how hard it is to be separated from someone you spend so much time with. Hopefully you will be busy with your Spanish friend and that will help. Is she an exchange student or family friend or? Have a fun 4th!
