I said goodbye to my friends this afternoon. It was more sentimental than expected - the act of saying goodbye while mentally recounting the ways that God has used Frankie & Janelle to walk life with me, even life in the crucible of the Lord. I'm eternally grateful for covenant brothers and sisters like them.
Part of why this was difficult was the realization that this would be the first of many goodbyes; that I will pone day say goodbye to these two with my bags packed and no intention of returning soon. But it is good, because it's about God's Kingdom. Ephesians 2:10 is becoming my life's verse for 2012. We were created in Christ Jesus for good works which **God prepared beforehand** that we should walk in them. Wherever each of us is, or despite the plans that we make, as we continue to seek heaven, that which we embark has been laid out by God Himself, a work that He has ordained for us to do. I was created for this. Please pray for grace to respond by walking in it.
