Today was our last sunday at Easthaven Baptist. I woke up dreading what I knew would be a shameless display of crying and snotting in public. (My own) I hate crying in public, losing emotional control. So this morning seeing my mom sitting on the couch crying and saying she wasn't going to come to church set the mood. I broke down before we even got in the car. From there it was just a cry-fest. Don't get me wrong, it's not that I didn't want to say goodbye. I'd just rather wave from afar with a stiff upper lip. This day was hard but I'm greatful for the church body at Easthaven. So many of you support us and pray for us and having you pray over us this morning was worth all the embarrassing tears. We missed many friends who weren't there and we won't have time to see everyone before we leave. But know this...we love you and will miss you in our everyday lives. I ask two things from the church body at Easthaven:
1. Keep praying. We desperately need your prayers.
2. Take care of my mom. She joyfully supports us on this venture but we have never been apart for more than a year and she has never been away from the grandkids for more than a few weeks. This will be hard for her. Please rally around her and invite her to coffee, pray for her, love on her.
Thanks again church family! All our love and prayers go out for you as well!
