And they’re gone…
Tiff and her kids, Julie and her kids, Heather and her kids all came over lastnight for one last get together while the men were packing up the moving truck.
We hugged and cried and hugged and cried and laughed because our kids are silly. Bestfriends Emma & Jada made a stepping stone heart, one half went to one girl, the other half to the other.
Lord, I lift this family up to you. They are in the middle of your Will at all times. And at this time, you are calling them to Orlando. You have great plans for them and I am thankful for your plans. I am thankful that my friends love you the way they do. I thank you for giving me a best friend named Tiffany. I thank you for her husband, I thank you for her precious children. I pray that you will keep them safe today. That you will protect them on the road. I pray that you will Tiffany friends, Lord. I know that is one of her biggest fears and concerns. But I also know that You know her hearts desires and you will fulfill them.
I love you, Lord. I thank you for your blessings. Amen.
I’m just straight up sad today. And for the days to come.
If you are the praying type, I ask that you lift the Johnson Family up today for travel mercies.

Aww man. I know how you feel. My “BFF” since I was 5 moved to CT after college. My other best friend from 7th grade to high school moved to TX in high school. I was a mess over both instances. God has kept us close though. we still visit each other, talk on the phone and through email, etc. It would be nice to have them closer but our relationship never changed. Praying for them and you

I am so sorry they had to leave! I will be praying for their travels to their new home and for you in this time of need!

I’ll be praying for you too. My best friend has been gone exactly a month now, but I remember how sad I was for those first few days. It will get a little easier each day. Big hugs!

I’ll be praying for your friends and for you as well. I’ve moved a lot and it was never easy to leave the dear friends that I had made along the way. Thank God for technology…it makes staying close so much easier.

I’m gonna try for some quick comments since my computer is only allowing me so much.
I was tearing up reading this post. I hope it will be easier in the days to come than it seems right now. Of course, Tiffany and family are in my prayers.

Wow. Sad and exciting…but knowing they are in God’s Will is really, truly awesome. We have good friends, who’s son is my son’s best friend and they are moving in about a month. I know God has great plans for their family, but it still hurts knowing how sad our kids are. There is excitement mixed in there too and they are planning how when they grow up they are gonna live right by each other. But, until then we will have some fun in the sun with friends and make some memories.
