The majority of what we own is in boxes. Goodbyes have begun. The days are almost all checked off the calendar. My husband completed his final homework projects. He tried on his cap and gown. This is it. This is the moment we have been preparing for. It’s “go-time”. Tears have been cried out. Lots of them. But I am grateful for the tears. These tears are precious. These tears represent 5 years – and then a life-time – of preparation. These tears represent the investment others have had in our lives that we are oh-so grateful for, and then the relationships that were formed. These tears represent priceless memories that we will carry with us. These tears represent the joy and struggle of our college years, His provision, and His grace we experienced through it all – while also the relief that it is over (at least for a few years). These tears represent a home that was made, friends who became family, and a life lived here that wasn’t ‘just-for-college’… it was much more than temporary. These tears represent how blessed and grateful we are that all of this will continue as we build new relationships, grow our family, and serve Him. These tears represent excitement, some fear, indescribable joy and gratitude. We are ready. We can’t wait to finally be in Kansas. I could tell you many stories of how the Lord has provided and led during this time already. Is it not just so cool?! So 100%, there will be some waterworks on graduation day, and a couple Sundays from now and maybe the next Sunday… These tears are precious and we wouldn’t trade them for anything.
