even if it's only for a season, we still desire fellowship with them, and feel the absense of their unique contributions to our daily walks with God when they are gone. in our group, we have a hard time being apart from each other even for a few days inbetween tuesday and friday when we meet each week... so we have lunch and get together for coffee, and set up movie nights... all just for an excuse to share life together.
we crave and protect our time together... as much of it as we can get.
meagan, a precious part of our community, is moving away in the next week or two... and we are having to work really hard not to just kidnap her and keep her here and not let her leave.
we are happy God is opening up new job and school opportunities for her in oregon, but her presence in our lives is priceless, and her maturity in her gifting has been such a beautiful blessing to get to experience the last few months. many of us have known her for years and just recently reconnected with her again, but God's timing was so perfect! intimate and real foundations for lasting friendships and relationship with her were built to the point where NOTHING can separate us in Spirit.
no distance... no geographic change of location will affect our love for her, though. we will miss her daily presense in our lives so much, but we will rejoice with her as we see what amazing things God has in store for her.
Psalm 139: 8-10
If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.
If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.
what a beautiful woman, our meagan is... we love you megs... stay strong!!
