Saying Good-bye

The widow sits alone. She rarely leaves her home. She doesn't feel like speaking to the outside world, she is still speaking to the one she lost. Her hurt is seen in her eyes. How can life ever be the same again?

The there's me. A commoner, a passerby. I'm done with this year. I'm ready for a fresh start. I am throwing out everything I don't need and leaving behind what I regret, what troubles I had. But how can the widow? How can the childless? I can think positively but for these people, the wound will still be there on January 1st. There are so many families that have lost loved ones in 2011. It's important to keep them in our prayers and remember, instead of simply moving on with our lives.

I know, it's from the Muppets, but regardless, it's a sweet song.

I am amazed at how God makes everything in my life fit together in such an amazing way! Sometimes I don't always see that right away. I will be leaving for college in two months and up until a few days ago, I knew I would be upset over being far away from home but it never hit me until just then. So I was laying there in the dark just sobbing to myself about how much I would miss my mom and dad and then it hit me: Going far from home is going to be a part of my life from this point on. Once college is over, I could find a teaching job anywhere. And if and when I find myself headed to Romania (or anywhere for that matter) I will be homesick, but I need to be strong. I know I will be able to with Gods help, but it will be tough. I am thankful for everyone is is praying for me and supports the passions that I have.
