3 months ago my world was rocked when my best friend told me she and her family would be moving. Now, she didn't know when or where- just that God had called them (like Abraham in the Old Testament) to leave their home and go to the place He would lead them.
Well, they are leaving now- in fact, in 8 days they will be getting in their car and saying goodbye to California (for now). They are headed to Savannah, Georgia. Her husband Rob was offered a wonderful job at Savannah Christian Church and will begin on January 3rd.
Today after a wonderful sermon and baptisms, we had a send off lunch for the wonderful Conatser/Gibson family. There were tons of tears, happy memories, testimonies of changed lives, laughter and great Mexican food.
I know that I wouldn't have had so many tears of sadness if there wasn't so much love for the people who are leaving. You can't have deep sorrow without profound joy and love- I think it is worth it all!!
