emotions
sometimes i wish i had no emotions...that way this going to a new place, moving away from the people i love the most, taking logan from his best and only real friends he has ever known, and the rest would really be a lot easier. there would be no gut-wrenching emotional rollercoaster- no tears just robot-like goodbyes.
that said- i have had lot of emotions these past few days. logan and i spent the weekend in south dakota- great seeing dad, mom, grandma, and others but still hard to say goodbye knowing we are going to be so far away now. went golfing today with anna's dad bill- it was great to do it finally since we have been meaning to for so long. we had good conversation, mainly focussed on the upcoming move which of course made us both really excited and sad- the story of my life i guess.
tonight leland came over and presented me with the most thoughtful gift in the world. officially titled, "a guide to church planting in the postmodern age", the pages are filled with scripture, thoughtful words from books, pictures of our life here, pictures from the St. John's Bible, and letters of encouragement from a variety of folks dear to anna and i. i am so moved by this gift- at the time and hard work, love, thoughts, etc. put in by leland(injustice still seems to rule as he is without a call)- his act here really humbled me- what a guy, what a friend- my feelings of grattitude for this book and his friendship are beyond words. i am also moved greatly by the thoughts and words of deep encouragement from my brothers and sisters in this place and beyond. it is people like this that get me excited about this new venture of mission development. people who have so much to offer, people who offer themselves as a living sacrifice to god's work on this world. truly the salt of the earth. people i will miss incredibly, people who have taught me more than i could ever imagine- and these teachings i will rely on heavily in the coming days and years. i say thanks to all my friends out there who provide me with so much so often- all those that have and continue to touch my life. know that i will continue to call on you- and know too that i will continue to pray and think of all of you daily.
so much more to say, but just can't gather the thoughts at this time.
