Gone

D & B are gone.... They are in Okyland now. Ready to start new lives and experience new things and learn more than they could possibly retain.

My heart broke as we said goodbye on Tuesday night. We may have known each other only fifteen months, but we (the four of us) have been through so much, both together and separately, in those months that is makes it seem like a lifetime. I tried to be encouraging as they were leaving, but I couldn't do it. All I could do was cry at the incredible loss I felt. I then proceeded to feel guilty, I mean, they are following the Lord's leading. Moving to the great unknown because they both feel led to go to school at Rhema starting this fall. I know they are doing what they are supposed to be doing, and I know it is hard for them-I've been there.

I was the one who moved to North Dakota to go to school six years ago. That was me, which only makes it that much harder. I KNOW what they are going through, but I can do nothing to help them. I can say nothing that will make it easier for them. My memory fails me when I try to remember encouraging things that were said or done for me when I moved away. I think this side is more difficult to handle than theirs. After all, they are beginning a grand adventure and I just have to let life go on-either around me or as a part of it.

Enough sadness! I'm excited to start a new chapter in my life as well. A time to strengthen our marriage, a time to draw closer to the King, a time for a few changes. Please pray with me for D & B. D has a job interview tomorrow morning and B is beginning her job hunt.
