this is a sad post.

our precious friends are leaving today for North India.

 

indefinitely.
they are obeying God & moving their family to the other side of the world.
i am so thrilled for them.
i look forward to watching this adventure play out.
i look forward to hearing all the stories about what God does through them.
how they get to be a part of changing people's lives.

but right now my heart just aches.
this is harder than i ever thought it would be.
maybe it's the indefinitely part.
my mind wants to wrap around an ending point.

mel is more than my friend.
she is my sister, a kindred spirit for sure.
and i'm not sure how life will look without her.
so i am up in the middle of the night, tossing and turning.
my heart hurting with this loss.

i started keeping micah a couple of days a month when he was just a baby.
and then levi when he came along.
so our boys have grown up together.
i am sad for that loss as well.

and dave is a brother to aj.
they connect on a spiritual level that it is often hard for guys to do.

we have made so many great memories over the years.

and this year especially we have grown so close.
i know we will stay connected.
but it's not the same.

i am so proud of them.
they are sacrificing so much for God's work.
there is no better way to spend their lives.
than to pour it out like a drink offering to their Savior.

but my heart is broken at the loss of their companionship.
our hearts were made for eternity.
and i so look forward to a time when there are no more goodbyes.
i'm thankful more than ever for that hope.

i love you my sweet friends. Pin It
