Journey - Home

Monday, August 25th

Sunday morning, Sara, Heather, Pat & I attended Wheaton Bible Church at their new campus ... BIG church ... a little different from what we're used to at The Journey .... but that's probably good --> stretch us a little bit (especially me!!!)

Christine picked up Emily (Heather's roommate from Maryland) at the airport and they met us at Egg'lectic - a brunch place in Wheaton. It was great to see Em again! Laura will arrive on Monday to complete the foursome.

We said goodbye to Christine and Emily (until Family weekend in November) and took Heather back to her apartment. It was good to know she would have all of her buddies to care for her .... and that she'll be close to her sister. We then took Sara back to Fischer Dorm .... Katey's parents had already left so she was a little teary as well. It was sad to let go of our Sara ... but it is only for a season. God, we know, will protect and comfort her and wrap His loving arms around her when we can't.

At the end of the "Letting Go" service on Saturday night, we sang "Great is Thy Faithfulness" ..... it still is ..... the God of hope will fill us with all joy and peace as we trust in him, so that we may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit!!

We left for home, and Willie-Bob, at 2 PM

With Him,
Paul & Pat
