Its Hard to Say Goodbye...

Last night was the last time before school that everyone went swing dancing. It was really fun, but also extremely depressing. I had to say goodbye to the seniors, and Scotty. 

After dancing, we all stood out in the parking lot to say our goodbyes. We ended up in a big circle praying for a long time. During that time, I finally had an, "Oh my gosh, they're actually leaving..." moment. I had always thought about when they were going to leave, now they were actually Leaving. It was the last time I would see any of them till thanksgiving, or even later.

That night I was thinking about how now that the seniors are gone, and once Beau leaves I'm going to feel so alone and left behind. Amazingly enough, I was listening to Mainstay...

You went down the darkest roads

And I know just how it feels to lose your home

But don't give up on everything

When everyone has given up on you

And feels like everyone has left you

You're not alone

I hear your call

I've been waiting here for you through it all

You're not alone

Come to the Cross

Let me show you where your heart belongs

You're not Alone

I will never leave you

Come back to open hands

To the only love you need

That gave me a sense of hope, that after all our friends and family leave us, we still won't ever be alone. God is always there for us.

Deuteronomy 31:6

"Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the LORD your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you."

Michael, Gabby, Luke, Elise, Scotty, and Alli...

You guys have been such a big part of my life for the past couple years, and I am going to miss you all so much. I pray that you will find strong christian relationships, and will keep in touch.
