So I have to make a confession I am absolutely horrible at saying goodbye. I've never been good at it.
The last few months I have had the privilege to study the life of Paul with my bible study group. I am reminded as I leave that Paul had so many people that he met and interacted with then he had to leave. Paul new this people like no other, he lived with them and taught them about the Lord. After he formed these friendships he had to move to the next city. When Paul would leave he knew he would never see these people again. He knew the Lord had work for him to do in other places.
Please do not take this wrong, I in no way, shape or form am comparing my life with that of Paul's. I am simply saying I have come to Salem for a purpose and now it is time to leave and serve the Lord in another city.
I have formed friendships here that I will never loose. Thank the Lord I am not like Paul and I know that I will see all of my friends again.
Thank you to all of you for making my time in Salem so wonderful. I can't wait to continue reading all of your blogs to see how you all are doing.
So, if I get the privilege of seeing you guys before Tuesday I will give you a huge hug and say goodbye. If I don't see you, I love you and will see you soon.

i'm with you - saying goodbye is very hard. you'll be in our prayers as you make this transition and can't wait to see some pics after you get settled in reno :)
How about see you soon or We'll keep in touch. That sounds so much better than saying goodbye...don't you think?
We don't have to say goodbye because you'll be back, and we will be down in no time at all. :)
Love you friend!! I will take a hug though :)
