The End of An Era

I had a fantastic Sunday. I was able to drive to Zebulon for the morning worship service to see my old girls' disciple group in their graduation attire for Senior Sunday. This was the class of kids who were in 6th grade when we started at Zebulon and except for the last 2 years, I was involved in their weekly lives. I loved spending time with them again, and seeing the "passing of the guard." There is something to be said about completion, and seeing them in caps and gowns provided me with an odd sense of peace. I also enjoyed meeting with an old teaching friend and another friend from Zebulon later in the day. It was a good reminder for me to see where I've come from and where I am going. I miss the people at Zebulon dearly, but I also left feeling affirmed at where we are now. I am convinced that it takes me 3 years to settle into a place and love it more than where I was before. However, even though we are about to end year 2 in Mount Airy, I feel like this is home already. It's good to have a home. And it's good to feel right about where you are.
So, congrats to my beautiful girls. And thank you, Lord, for the pleasure of seeing things to "completion."
