countdown begins

Yesterday I began the process of telling all 71 of my sweet babes that I will be leaving on July 30th. Talk about the agony. They all handle it differently, some don't even really understand. But I do, and it sucks. Part of my heart is ready and the part that still loves them at the end of a long and sometimes ridiculous day isn't. I am not sure how my last day will go but in the meantime the countdown has begun. 28 days. 28 days left of one of the best, well, actually maybe the best season so far of my life. I know it only gets better from here but there are a few dear little hearts that are making this feel impossible.

I know that time can fly, that your days can come and go before you even realize it. I am going to try to keep track of each day as best as I can. I know future me will love to look back and read all of this one day when maybe even just a smidge more of my puzzle is filled in and some of this makes a bit of sense.

Today was normal at work. I am actually staying the night again. I can count on that including a long day, a bed time story and sweet kisses as I tuck them in...and probably not a lot of sleep for me.

I re-read my blog post from last week about the goodness of God chasing me and I guess sometimes we forget even the things we ourselves learn and write. God reminded through that and then some of how much he loves me and (sigh of relief) how in control of my life he is. He has already gone ahead in time, made all my paths smooth, pre-arranged blessings, people. I really love him, and he happens to love me too. :)

With that thought, my air conditioned work space has been commandeered by some rowdy pre teens who just must watch a soccer match. So that's that.

Day 28. Come and almost gone. Here is to day 27 and finishing off the last bits of my cinnamon toast crunch from my care package. God is good people, God is good.
