After reading a blog by Sola Fide, I am forced to come to face with a reality that I have been avoiding. Yes, she is moving away, to a whole new area that is extremely far away (In the US, like to another state; in Europe, like to another country; in Canada, like to another province) and I have been completely forgetting it so I don't have to deal with the sorrow. This, obviously, isn't helping my situation, so I have decided to say--urm, write something about it.
"The LORD will keep you from all harm—
he will watch over your life;
the LORD will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore."
(Psalm 121:7-8)
In such a manner I pray for you on your journey, that you remember that we will remember you. I've never met a person who doesn't like you or who finds or irritating. As well, I have met plenty of people whose interest in God has been gently stirred by you.
So, this is why your moving has mixed feelings for me. Yes, of course, I will miss you unbearably. Not only will I be missing the only person I know who carries around a Bible at school, I won't have someone to tell my deepest secrets, give one of those delightfully squishy hugs, or tease about tests. I don't know how I'm going to manage, but I suppose I will have to find a way.
But also, I have the knowledge that in this far away place, a church, school and many, many lives are about to be touched by an Earth-bound angel. I can't possibly begrudge so many people of finding peace and God through such a kind and caring person. They are truly blessed to have you move away, and I see the Divine Plan in this.
I'll miss you, my friend. But I know that you will do great good.

Ephesians 3:20-21
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
Amen and amen :)
