Brutally Honest

Today was the hardest day of my life. Today I had to say good-bye to my wonderful family at the Anglican Church in Basel. It honestly felt like a part of my heart had been ripped out as I hugged and said my good-byes. Can I be brutally honest? It sucked. It really did. Some of me and Anne's friends got together and made us both scrapbooks with notes from our friends. I don't think I've ever had a harder time saying goodbye before. I can't imagine that I won't see these amazing people again for a long time. I can't imagine not sitting and worshiping with them every Sunday. I am so incredibly thankful that God placed these wonderful people in my path. I am so blessed to have sat under the teachings of my pastor, Geoff. I am so glad that doors at the church opened for me to take a big part in the ministries there. I know that wherever I go God is going to provide a church family for me...but there is something very, very special about the Anglican Church in Basel. I leave you with lyrics from a special song by Brian Doerkson that our praise team has been singing for the last month. We ended the service with it today and I think it's quite appropriate:

"Your Love Will Find Me"

You were there when life began
Spoken words became a man
Formed in love my every part
You caused the beating of my heart
You're beside, behind, before
You surround me
You're everywhere

You chart the path ahead of me
Show me all that I can be
Every moment you ar near
In every step
Through every fear
There is nowhere I can go
To be without you
You're everywhere

Looking to the heavens You're there
And in the dark depths of despair
Even there your love will find me
Knowing that I'm never alone
Even if Your hand takes my home
To the other side of the sea
Your love will find me
Your love will find me

Precious are your thoughts to me
More wonderful than I can see
As I cannot count the sand
I cannot count the things you've planned
But when I wake up everyday
To face the morning
You meet me there

Looking to the heavens You're there
And in the dark depths of despair
Even there your love will find me
Knowing that I'm never alone
Even if Your hand takes my home
To the other side of the sea
Your love will find me
Your love will find me
