Leaving
By carmel | June 11, 2014
These days, I’ve witnessed some good friends leaving for various reasons. Last month, it was T from our local chapter. Our community hosted a despedida party with intercessory prayer for her few days before her flight. She is now based in another country for work purposes. Then last Monday, we held a party for our brother disciple who will be going back to Manila this weekend to continue his studies.
Moving to another place can create a mixture of emotions within. Consider the stress and exhaustion of being swamped with piled up tasks and chores, from sorting stuff to packing up. Some even have to deal with comparing international car shipping rates and other cargo shipment concerns. There’s also the excitement for the coming days, such as having a new home and neighborhood, or meeting new friends. Of course, there’s the inevitable sad goodbyes that can’t be disregarded. Dealing with major life changes such as moving can be stressful indeed.
