Last night was our farewell party at our church - planned by my mom and Jay's mom. We were astonished to see so many well wishers, from all different corners of our lives come to see us off. It was really an incredible blessing. The kind words that were spoken on and off the mic, written in the cards - expressed in the hugs we received and your expressions.
Jay and I were blown away and very thankful for all of you. It was really encouraging to hear how God has impacted people through us - and I definitely give Him the glory for that! To our Young Life kids - man - you guys spoke so eloquently and honestly and it really meant a lot to Jay and I (hence the tears) - and Jay did tear up although he hid it quite well :)
Today we pack up our uhaul and drive out early tomorrow morning. Feels crazy to be at this point already - it still doesn't seem real at times but it is slowly starting to sink in. And it will hit full force tomorrow morning when we drive away. Not especially looking forward to that... But clinging to this verse - Psalm 139:5 - that God will hem us in behind and before and lay His hand on us the whole way there.
