I'm writing to sift through goodbyes...

The day will always take care of itself despite the things we say and do.  The sun will set.  The moon will rise and take shape in the darkness as the stars accompany.  Then the dawn will interrupt it all over again.  The day will always take care of itself.  The dawn will always bring grace.  It is new every morning.

Let the day take care of itself and meanwhile bathe in the plan set before you.  He is sovereign over me, my friend.  My friend, He is sovereign over you.  He will take me to distant nations and He will do the same with you... He is sovereign.  We will meet on occasion in one land or another, to the west of certain borders... He is sovereign.  My life is not my own.  Your life is not your own.  He will do with us what He wishes like water on the course of it's stream... He is sovereign.  I will be there and you will be in a different there for a time, maybe longer... He is sovereign.  In hopes you will leave your different there to visit where and when I'll be there... He is sovereign.  May your cup overflow with water from the infinite oceans and your life be preserved from the salt inside... He is sovereign.  I love you from such depths that only few people know... He is sovereign.

The day will always take care of itself... He is sovereign.

Not in the box..


I don't recommend watching this full screen... 


So the directions for all of this are not in the box.  I didn't expect it to be this difficult.  Although I am 100% excited, I am also 100% terrified.  The most common question I have received is, "are you ready for your trip?"  There are two things wrong with this question. The first one is that I have no idea what being ready for this trip is supposed to look like.  The second problem is that this doesn't seem like much of a trip... more of a move.     
But anyway... I pr for strength until I leave.  I pr for my family and my new ch and the other m's over in the great continent.  It's hard leaving the ch I've been apart of for so long (JF5... thank you for showing me what living looks like).  Thank you for accompanying me in this endeavor.  I leave in 5 days. I'm scared of this move.  I'm excited for this move. I am in the hands of the freakin' Sovereign King.  
I'll miss my boys down at the library who ask me if I'm cussing at them when I say "sir"... my boss-man and his wife along with the BHBC crew who taught me what living for JC looks like... the depth of d-ship with the few of you and certainly my wednesday girls (start a house ch)... my family.   Rock your life. Wake up, O sleeper, rise from the dead,
