Last night was the closing Banquet to Summer 2012 S.A.I.L! The kids did such an amazing job at performing. My kids pulled themselves together, and we baked a BUNCH of Chocolate Chip cookies and made TONS of Rice Krispie Treats. God is SO good! I thought I was gonna strangle a few kids hours before the banquet, but I looked up to God, made a quick prayer to get through, and by the time I knew it I was smiling and laughing at their performances.
So saying goodbye to the kids is never easy, but my 3 girls all left so quickly before and after the banquet. I didn't quite get a chance to say goodbye, but at least I got to give them a letter about how much I am going to miss them. I DID get a chance to hug some of my banquet workshop kids good bye. I'm gonna miss these crazy kids. A lot of them cried. It was heart breaking to watch them tear up. :*)
Everyone I can't believe the program is over....This means I ONLY have ONE more week left with my fellow interns/friends. Goodbye's among this group will be the hardest for me. I really feel like we have really gotten to know each other so well. It's Amazing how the beauty of God will capture a group of young college students learning to become adults in this crazy world to work and grow in His love together. God is SO good and has blessed me with such great new friends. I am blessed and I know this really isn't goodbye. This is just the beginning to something big, great, and amazing God has for each and every one of us.
So later on today I will be going back to the building and the whole crew will be cleaning up the building. This means I have to take all my class stuff down. Reality is gonna really hit me later this afternoon. I am so thankful for being in EPA this summer. Perhaps later after I am back from my retreat I will blog about what I have really learned this summer..... ;)
