Well, I will definitely be blogging a bit more about this past year, but mostly I wanted to talk about goodbyes. Oh goodbyes! I feel like it should be something that comes naturally by now. I've been saying goodbye to friends and then moving away since I was 10, but this–this is different. This time I'm not the one leaving. Oh sure, I'm moving away, but I'm coming back in three months and most of my friends will still be here, so it's mostly like a "See you later" goodbye. Except some people are leaving. They're moving on and who knows when I'll see them again. It's a weird feeling because I'm always the one who leaves and goes off to Portugal, Africa or some other cool place while my friends stay in the same place. But this time I'm staying put. It's weird and goodbyes are a lot harder (as if they are ever easy) when I'm not the one going off to start a new adventure.
Yet, even in the midst of yet another set of goodbyes God is still faithful.
My soul is downcast within me. Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, "The LORD is my portion; therefore I will wait for him."-Lamentations 3:20b-24
