Bittersweet Goodbye

Isn't it strange how in the midst of something as bitter as a goodbye, there can be sweetness? Leaving SIAS was hard, wondering if I would ever again see some of my friends. Yet even in that sorrow, I felt such love from them as we hugged goodbye. I pray that they who I left behind and miss will come to know the great love of God so that even if I for some reason am not able to see them again on this earth, that we will forever be together worshiping our Savior!
