Goodbye's or "See Ya Laters"

So today was my very last day at Starbucks. What a sad day. There were a few awesome girls that I work with that were quite sad to say goodbye... but as my friend Jake tells me often, "Kim, this isn't 'goodbye'... it's simply 'See ya later'" Unless you plan on cutting ties and having this be the end of your friendship with people ... then it's simply not a goodbye.

This is somewhat of a comforting thought as I prepare to leave... it is so strange to me that it is happening in 9 days... so much has happened already and so much lays ahead of me to do... PRAISE GOD though, over half of my money has come in already!! wow. Incredible really. I still need over $1,500 more dollars though... but I know that God is faithful and he is going to provide...
Tonight was cell group and we celebrated Katie's birthday. OH how hard it is going to be to leave my family there. so many wonderful friends... I have been so blessed. God knew I needed them this year I think. OH man. I can't believe its almost time to go.

I am so glad that I won't be going alone though. Jen is going to go with me and we have much to accomplish in the week that she will be with me. I am looking forward to it! And Sunday the church is going to pray for us... so glad. :)

I am tired tonight... but full of joy and excitement for the next week and what God is going to do!!

Preaching on Wednesday night at GYC!! Yay! That will be cool!

More later...
