Change

I don't deal well with change, I never have. I like things to stay the way they are, especially with respect to friends. I don't like it when people leave. I guess I get comfortable, and get used to people always being there. I guess I rely on constants.

Nolan's leaving. The English Ministry is losing their pastor, just months after the retirement of our long-time senior pastor. While it's not a total surprise that he would.........I guess I just never thought it'd happen. I figured Nolan would be like Rev. Wong - at TCBC for life. For 40 years.

People have been constantly leaving me the last few years, and it's definitely been difficult. Once you get comfortable with someone, then they leave on you. *sigh*

But the hardest part of it all, is Angie. While I am counting down the days until my vacation, it's very bittersweet, because that also is the same countdown until when I have to say goodbye to Angie. My best friend these last few years, and the one who's seen me through so much laughter and tears. Who else will I turn to and pray? Who else will I joke and laugh about stupid things with? I know God has called us all to go our separate ways, but it's still very hard. While I'm looking forward to vacation, it'll be tough to go back home and know, that she's not there. 2 years....
