Well, we are underway.
Our church and friends celebrated us well over the past weeks and we are
sent with full hearts. On Sunday we were
“commissioned” in both services at church.
I was not prepared for the emotions of being in church for the last
time. We walked up on the stage at the
end of the worship set after singing two of my favorite songs...tears. It was a little raw to say the least. We are so thankful for our church that knows
us and believes in what the Lord is leading us to, it is rich.
I know that there will times that looking back is normal and
there will probably be a longing for friends and comforts, but we go being
celebrated. Julie and I feel like we
should be the ones celebrating others as we left, we have been loved well in College
Station. Thank you, our lives are
markedly different than when we arrived 10 years ago; we are grateful for depth
of relationships. So, it is with great
excitement that we go forward but it is also with heavy hearts in leaving a
wonderful community of friends; bitter-sweet.
Tomorrow we fly to Anchorage to do “the dash” for a few days
in prep for 3 leadership trips June 5-11 July. We need to take care of some
moving business, get supplies and food for 30 people for the 5 weeks of trips.
It’s a lot to
transition to, but we are ready…well, almost ready. I can tell like never before when people have
been praying for us. I don’t know what
exactly it is that I can tell but there is no doubt that there is a difference.
Please continue to pray for the Blom
family as the transition “from” becomes the transition “to”.
