With the beginning of any new journey means the ending of the previous one. I'm not sure I know anyone that really likes good-byes, but I must say that I really hate endings! I even have a hard time when I finish a good book or when a favorite tv series has its finale. I simply don't like endings.
So with only 2 weeks left of this Oklahoma journey, I am such a mix of emotions. There are moments where I think about certain people or just simply life here, and I could cry in an instant. At the same time I think about what is to come in Memphis, and I get so excited! I know it can be easy to get caught up in emotion. Therefore I have been praying that God would allow me to finish this present journey well. I want my eyes to be open to the people around me even during this time of ending. I don't want to get so self-absorbed that I don't finish all that God intended for me here.
The good-byes have already begun. One going away party down and two more to go. Friday is my last day with the sweetest baby boy that I love so much. There is packing to be done and final errands to be run. In the midst of all of that, Holy Spirit, would you please give me the eyes to see the hurts, pains, needs, and joys of others and the courage to act on how you want me to help? Would you allow me to say that I finished my Oklahoma journey well?
