We were some what exhausted from the weeks of packing and visiting as many people as possible before we moved.
It just didn’t feel real, “this is our last Sunday here”? Although, we knew we would come back and visit often, it still was different. Part of our heart is in Lancaster with the many friends we had made and came to love like family. 8 am service was the worst because the tears just wouldn’t stop flowing. This was partly due to the service being so good! PC preached about worship, we sang and spent time in God’s presence. It was wonderful and my heart was so full. But then when we went over to the Missions Hut and everyone came to hug us and we said our good byes, omg, my heart. I didn’t want to let some of the people go.
During one of the services me and another young woman that asked to pray for me started crying and that was the first time that we had met haha! But God was sending people to us that day to speak words of confirmation about the journey we were about to embark on. I was thankful for those that were obedient to God’s voice to speak to us about what they felt God was telling them to tell us. They were spot on! By the time we got to the end of the third service, it had finally sank in. Transition. It’s time.
We finished packing up the u-haul and off we went! On to the new chapter God had called us to.
