Florida: A Sad Goodbye

Proverbs 19:21 Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the LORD that will stand.


It wasn't in my plans to be saying goodbye right now. There is such a tension between leaving and going. We are leaving behind many friends, families, and future plans and going back to family and friends - yes, but not in the way that we would like to go back to them, and no grasp on future plans.

Jeremiah 29:11-13 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.
 
The only grasp I have is in holding tight to seeking the Lord - that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection (Philippians 3).
 
I know that many of you care for my family, and desire to show that you care by calling or emailing or offering to help - and for that care I am so thankful. Please understand that I cannot email everyone back or share freely what is on my heart. I would prefer also to talk to each and everyone in person. So please keep that in mind if you feel led to contact me - and please do, but I may not share over the phone or email. 
 
Thank you all for your continued prayers and may we all be blessed by the peace of God.
