Soon to be Deja vu

So tonight was kinda sad, the realization that Summer is slowly coming to an end has hit.  Within a little more then three weeks, i will start heading back to Atlanta.  Within three weeks memories of people, events and laughter will soon start to fade, only to be remembered by me from this blog that i have set up... along with the journal that i am writing.

As a group from right outside Athens Georgia was talking about their most memorable moments, they mentioned the fact that they will never see those kids again.  It hit me, we leave, but they don't.  The kids will be here next week, next month, and most all of them will be here next year.  And even though they may fade from our memory's, we never will fade from theirs.  We have changed lives and given love, and food and laughter, and some unforgettable experiences.  Not to be conceited with any of the past statements, but it is interesting to me that without this blog and letters that i have written, i don't know if i would have remembered half of this stuff.

I hate good things coming to an end.  I hate this change of leaving this place in such a short time, but i know I am being called away for other ministry and other lives to touch.  

We are going to leave... but they may never.  We are going to leave but they are going to stay.  We are going to leave, but will we remember and will we continue to pray and support.  We are going to leave...
