Last night was our last gathering as a group. It was my last time being a part of the Christian community I have been a part of for the past four years. I almost cried last night. But it wasn't because of sadness but because I was so incredibly thankful. These people have come to mean so much to me and I was getting ready to say goodbye. It was such a gift to have tears of joy rather than of sadness. And I felt so full to know that I was leaving something really really good. Leaving is only hard when you are leaving people who you love.
I'm so excited for this next season and chapter of my life but oh how I am going to miss my people. The community I have found at Brock is beyond anything I could've asked for or dreamed of having. I have found my family here and a home. I have found a place to belong and a place to speak my truth. I have found people who I can be authentically myself with; people who I can be with Jesus with. I have found deep connection. I am so thankful and I feel spoiled. To know that I am leaving this place full is all I could've hoped for. I have no idea how God is going to move in me as I go to Queen's. I have no idea what type of people I am going to meet there. But I know that God will be with me every single step of the way. I know that He has good things prepared for me in Kingston just as He had good things prepared for me at Brock. Even if those good things are not the same as I imagine them to be, I know that they will be good nevertheless. He is good and what a special gift it has been to draw closer to the Him as I've drawn closer to His people.
