As We Go Out

Well my dear friends the time is coming in which we will all disperse for a bit. In approximately four days we will be outside of this dorm room, this library, cafeteria, classroom, off of this swing and onto another form of life. We will venture out to put more of our focus into our ministries, our jobs, our marriages and so forth. We will be without each other for a while friends.

Much will change through a summer, but many things will stay the same. There will be many changes that we do not agree with, or wish would not happen. We might not like to think about our dear friend graduating and moving away, or a friend not living in close proximity anymore. We may not like some of the changes the new freshmen bring (we are creatures who love familiarity).

But as much as change moves me, no matter how small, there will always be an unchanging God. His rules will never change, he is not a friend that must move away, he is not a freshman that brings change to the environment, he is an everlasting, unchanging God who loves us even through our changes. Through our times of moving on and moving forward, he never changes, he is, was, and will be. He is beautiful like that.

So friends as we leave for a summer of excitement, or money-making, or a mixture of the two, I hope it is one you can come back to the new semester and gush about it.

But gush in a way that glorifies the One who got you there.

Oh my dear, dear friends I will miss you this summer. I feel as if we have become such a family of sorts this year and I am sad to leave you, but excited to hear what God does through you and for you these next few months. It will be a sight to see the newness God will give you through this time away. 

My brothers and sisters, lets bid adieu to this year so that we can make greater memories next time. 

All to God
