Psalm 21:6 For you make him most blessed forever; you make him glad with the joy of your presence.

One of these days I may hand-write this all out for you, but I wanted it to get to you quickly so maybe you might cry as hard as I did yesterday (misery loves company, right?)

I'm not really big on goodbyes, I'm more of a "see you soon" kind of girl. There is something that is just so heavy about "goodbye", but "see you soon" just does something to ease the heart a little.

But before I say it, there is something you both need to know.

You both for the impact you have had on my life, and I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for that.

Together you both are a power couple for the gospel. You opened your door, your hearts, your ministries, and your families up to me.

You were the first to give me my first real leadership role on ministry. You were the first to show me what a real Christian family and Christian marriage looked like.

You taught me how to parent in a godly way. How to be hospital, to be nice to boys and act like a lady, and how to invest in people and expect nothing in return.

You showed me that I too have a love for the foster care system (well not so much the system, but the children in it) and that blood doesn't make you family.

Monday nights were always my favorite, because even if they were crazy hectic and you needed a 3rd driver to grab kids from appointments, or schools, or practice you did real life with a smile and an open heart.

And there was nothing like snuggling with each of the kids one by one in the chair when I would come back for a visit and we would, as C would say, "have the band back together."

Remember how hard it was for me to leave you guys and go an hour and a half away, and I sent Sadie Anne back to the van balling (which is probably good I didn't hug her goodbye, because we both would be reliving that moment, so I know you'll send her my love)

This moment is about a million times harder to let y'all go even further, but I know you promised my move to Franklin would be good & that The Lord is good so I know this will be good too.

You will forever be family and my spiritual parents, because just like you guys taught me, blood doesn't make family.

So there will be no goodbyes here, just see you soon with lots of FaceTime, texts, calls, and road trips in the near future.

Love you guys! Wish you all the best!
