Prayer send off
I had my last Sunday at my church yesterday. I love my church. They are a bunch of people that really know how to care for each other and they have great hearts and godly desires. One of the things that seems to have been a great tradition in our church is that we are constantly sending people off. For a church that is less than 30 people, we send off a couple people a year, with at least one of those permanently and a couple more on short term stuff. When we have someone who is leaving we have this cool practice of them sharing and then the invitation is put out for people to pray for this person. Many people gather around this person and prayers are offered up. Well it was my term yesterday and I have always loved to be a part of these things as someone who was praying for the person who was leaving because there is such a spirit of unity in it. And it was amazing being the person being prayed for. It was this incredible blessing to feel these people surrounding you physically but knowing that they were also surrounding you spiritually and that they would pray for you and think of you. Somehow it makes leaving all the easier when you know that you are leaving great people because you know that any coming back will be great as well. And it will also be good in the meantime!

Hi gorgeous,
Sorry I missed both your send-offs. Spent the weekend desperately trying to spend time with Logan while taking every chance to pop painkillers and sleep... eurgh. Anyway, love you... will be thinking of you, and hopefully keeping in contact via this wonderful net thingy. :-)
Yep, totally, sorry I missed you too, but that's ok. We will definitely keep in touch! Sorry to hear that you are not feeling well either. Hope you are feeling better!
Yup, feeling better now thanks. *hugggg*
