Goodbye For Now
Yesterday was my last day as a student at UNI. I finished my last final and sat close to the campanile reminiscing my time at UNI. There have been so many great memories and moments of growth in Cedar Falls. I have met so many great people. It has been here in CF that I have grown the most in my faith and developed a closer relationship with my Lord and Savior. This place, but more importantly the people that have become family, are so near and dear to my heart. I don't think I even have the words to properly describe how much I love you all dearly and will miss you so much. You all have taught me so much about life, friendship, and love. We laughed until tears came (which I easily do). We cried and held each other when the hurt was overwhelming. We made so many great moments happen. Thank you to all the people that have loved me at my worst and best, I treasure our friendship. As I take the next step in my journey I am thinking of you and how much I feel blessed that God placed you in my life.
It is a bittersweet thing to leave a place and community that have become a home and move to a new place and community to make home. There is an ache in my heart from goodbyes and joy in my heart for future hellos. I am saying goodbye for now and embracing all the plans God has for my future in Columbia at Mizzou.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
and do not rely on your own understanding;
6 think about Him in all your ways,
and He will guide you on the right paths.
Proverbs 3:5
and do not rely on your own understanding;
6 think about Him in all your ways,
and He will guide you on the right paths.
Proverbs 3:5
This is the song I was listening to while next to the Campanile. I was remembering all that God has done and will continue to do. He is faithful and has blessed me with so much and I will forever be thankful with the blessings he has given me in this season of life.
