Just Thinking About It All

It is Saturday morning and I have just written two long emails to friends that don't live in close proximity to me. I am telling them about my upcoming move to Africa and some of the details that are involved with that process. After sending those emails my mind begins to wander to what it will be like to leave so much that is comfortable and warm. I am not talking about house, bed, and food. My mind is thinking about family, friends and church. I know that I am blessed. I am surrounded by people that love me and who I love dearly. I go to a church where I am filled up and encouraged and where I am able to use the gifts the Lord has given me to bless others.
I have friends who speak truth to me and who love me even when I haven't been very lovable...oh boy, the grace they have shown. Thank God for grace. :)

I miss all of them already. Even though I have so much in my heart to reflect back on that warms my heart. I still miss them already.
