Therapy or Blabbery

People say that when you write out what you are feeling, you tend to feel better, so I will give it a try.

Last night I was at prayer meeting and Wawa was there. I was so excited to see her. I haven't seen her since the end of the summer as she has been working in Hong Kong. We started chatting like we had never been separated! It was so good to see her again. I am so thankful that she was able to come back and I could have a chance to see her before I left. But then after I saw her I realized that now I am even sadder as it will be harder to say goodbye.

As I was talking to Phil on the phone last night I realized just how real this whole move thing is becoming. Two and a half more weeks left in TO and then it is off to Alberta. It is so weird to have to leave everything that is familiar and start all over again. Being in TO is the first time in almost five years where I have actually put down some roots and made amazing friends and now I have to leave. It makes it really hard.

What makes it even harder is people saying just how much they are going to miss us and how the kids and the youth are going to miss us. I can't think about it because it makes me so sad. It has been so neat to watch all these people grow spiritually and maturaly (sp?) and it will be real hard to leave them. I can honestly say that we have been so blessed to be here in TO.

All the pastoral researchers say that if you can survive your first two years of ministry then basically you can survive anything. So, I want to say thank you to all who helped me survive my frist two years of ministry! I didn't die and I still want to do ministry in the future!

Well, before I get too sappy and stuff, I better stop typing! I don't know if I feel better now or worse! I think that I feel more sad, but it's ok!
