Goodbye Segers:(

So today my friends, the Segers, left for their journey to Portland. They had felt for some time that they were called to do a church plant, but today is the day the left to actually do it. While I am so very excited for them and for all that God is going to do, I so wish we could have had more time with them. I finally had to log off Facebook so it would stop reminding me of them leaving. I'm having a SUPER hard time with this. There's moments where I'm perfectly fine, but then I lose it. It's everything I can do to not be a puddle of tears at my desk (it doesn't help that my Pandora keeps playing sad and weepy songs)! Now when they read this I don't want them to feel bad, but I want them to know that they have made an impact on our lives that we were never prepared for. They became some of our best friends in a matter of months, weeks probably. We never expected to make such wonderful friends so quickly at a new church where we knew very few people.

I might have already said this, but Josh and I had been praying for good "couple" friends and just good friends in general when we left our last church. God has blessed us with some wonderful friends since being at DSC and the few that we are closest to are moving to Portland. I guess that means we gotta go too, huh? We're ready and willing when God leads us! Even though I wasn't ready to say good-bye I know that God has placed this wonderful family in our lives for this season and now it's time for them to move on. I so wish we could "move on" with them and when/if God leads us we will go. We're praying for safety, provision in every way, wisdom, direction, health and anything else they need. God has truly blessed the city of Portland!! We love you Segers!!
