Know of My Love

After each visit to NC it continually is harder to say goodbye and head back to what is now my home. As my nieces and nephews grow older and my relationships with them have started to form and become deeper and they know who I am, the goodbyes are very difficult. Knowing that the next time I see them they will have grown so much and I will have missed seeing this take place for many months often makes the short plane ride a tear filled one!


I hate being so far away and wish I could go to all the soccer games, swimming lessons, AWANA awards nights, and before long, school performances, or just make time for a special Aunt Karoline date.


As my younger siblings were growing up and I had moved away from home, I did all that I could to make it to as many of their events as possible. I wanted them to know of my love and I tried to show that in tangible ways by being present. I truly hope that they knew that then and can now look back and see it still. Even though I am farther away now and cannot quite make it to all these milestones, I pray they know of my love and the special place they each hold and will always hold in my heart.


I am continually amazed by where God has taken me and know that He has a plan. As I am seeking guidance for where I am to go from here, I am confident that God will show me where that is and if it is even further away from the people that I love, I pray that I will be able to still be present in their lives and they will know of my love!!
