Food Rush!! Don’t Push!!

The day had finally come for me to say goodbye. I was reluctant as I have now found family so dear. Yes, never had I had truly understand what it was to truly have a family of God until these people came into my life. I’m honored they loved me, accepted me and even respected me.

It was a simple wednessday night. My parents labored through the day to make sure that sufficient food was present at the table. Honestly, I don’t even know how to appreciate them for that. It was something they didn’t have to do yet did. Such grace is overwhelming. I assisted in very little that day. People started coming in early that day. So I began the usual repetition of the same story over and over again so that people would understand why I’m leaving.

Our bundle of joy!

My immediate Family!

Many were happy for me, many I couldn’t tell hahahha. More importantly was the fact that I was happy that so many came. I would probably have this last moment with them and maybe it may take me a while to actually see them again. All of them mean loads to me. I was so going through this in my head for the past few days visualising everything. In my heart I was telling myself, please don’t cry as I was preparing myself as I didn’t want to cry. I didn’t want anybody to cry because I may never stop crying that night if that happens.

Somehow that night, with no agenda and formalities, just plain fellowship, there was no crying. There were heavy hearted goodbyes but no crying. I thank God. There were loads of smiles, joy and laughter. Parting ways is always difficult but I wanted us to be happy because there is hope.

There was a song that I really wanted to sing for you all. I didn’t because it would cause me to cry. Here I will post the lyrics of that song. I sang this song again with my cheap mic. I dedicate this song to you! This is my prayer for all of us. I want to mention again. I love you all from the deepest part of my heart. I can’t calm my emotions down hence the cracking. Sorry. It is also purely unedited because I have no time to but I hope it speaks to you the way it speaks to me.

Pray For Me – Michael W. Smith

Here is where the road divides
Here is where we realize
The sculpting of the Father’s great design
Thru’ time you’ve been a friend to me
But time is now the enemy
I wish we didn’t have to say goodbye
But I know the road He chose for me
Is not the road He chose for you
So as we chase the dreams we’re after

Chorus:
Pray for me and I’ll pray for you
Pray that we will keep the common ground
Won’t you pray for me and I’ll pray for you
And one day love will bring us back around again

Painted on our tapestry
We see the way it has to be
Weaving thru’ the laughter and the tears
But love will be the tie that binds us
To the time we leave behind us
Memories will be our souvenirs
And I know that thru’ it all
The hardest part of love is letting go
But there’s a greater love that holds us
