Leaving Home

We were blessed to have some of our best friends with us for the past three days, but today we had to say goodbye. We have greatly missed them, and many others, since our move to Lethbridge in January of 2010.

With the arrival of our friends and good conversation about home it has got me thinking a lot about how we left. For many people we left to quickly. I have no doubts that it was the Lords timing but that didn’t make it easier. It’s caused loneliness in us for our friends and our city too, but God has been good to us in that way. We have had some very important people here that have made this feel as much like home as it could have under the circumstances. We thank you for that.

I am really excited for what God is doing in us while we are here, but at times I miss what was. I think about what could have been if we had just stayed. I wonder about how it’s possible that God wanted us to leave such amazing people for this time. I know we are going back but we have missed so much. I wonder why so many are able to stay and we had to leave. These are questions that I know the answer to but sometimes I still find myself pondering these answers.

I have noticed though, that as God works on my heart these questions become less prominent and the truth of His will, His plan, His love for me and His hand on my life becomes more apparent. I learn more every day to trust God more and I am committed to this work in me. I am so blessed to have these close friends in Regina and excited that this is continuing to develop here in Lethbridge. I am so blessed.
