Ready for Take Off

In this past month, our firstborn has graduated from high school, we have said goodbye to several dear friends who have been a part of our lives in Uganda for years, and now we are preparing to travel to the states to take our son to college. It has been a lot of emotion and a lot to process. I have been mostly concerned with my kids and how they are doing as they process all of this change. But I have also found that I’m grieving even while I celebrate those who are moving on. As I have been sad about all the goodbyes, one verse keeps coming to my mind.

“God has said, ‘Never will I leave you. Never will I forsake you.’” Hebrews 13:5

It is so good to know that I have a friend who is always with me. In the midst of these many farewells I am clinging to the promise of His presence wherever I am.
