Greater Things

I hate saying goodbye. And I know I use the word hate too much, so it's hard to convey the emotion behind that statement....but I HATE saying goodbye.

I hate the idea that this family will probably never be all together again.
I hate feeling as though my heart is pulled in a hundred directions.
I hate the idea of relationships fading.
And yes, I hate change.

But, in the words of the ever-wise C.S. Lewis: "There are far, far better things ahead than any we leave behind." Life has been good in the here and now. Sure, we've had our failures and moments where we suck, but we've had fun. We've grown. We've blessed and been blessed. But amidst the change that I am so afraid of, God stays the same. He stays faithful, He continues to love. And He has more planned for us. And if this life doesn't bring us together again, we will be together in Glory, where we can again praise our God with each other.

So, whether I see you tomorrow or in the next life, may God be with you until we are together again. I love you all.
