Seeds

It just hit me tonight that we'll be leaving here (probably) for good. 2 years isn't a long time to be in one place, but we still connected with a lot of people. And another round of good-byes begins.

We had our last Coffee House event tonight. We (the team, with Michael on guitar) sang a song in Chinese for the students that was about how bad our Chinese was. They got a kick out of it. :) They started pulling out their cameras before we even got on stage!

Afterwards, there were many pictures. What do they do with those anyway?! A couple of girls were there that I'm quite close to. One, in particular. She has been Michael's student for 2 years. We've hung out a lot, she's been to both of Josiah's birthday parties, and she loves my kids to pieces. (Her classmates tease her that it's on the brink of obsession. haha)

After we took our picture tonight, she hugged me. This is odd for the Chinese. They don't hug. Especially a Westerner. But she hugged me. At least 5 times. Long hugs. On the last one, she started to cry. I promised we'd get together again before we leave.

As far as I know, she doesn't have a relationship with the Father. I can only hope that she has seen His light through my life these past 2 years and perhaps that's why she's sad we're leaving. May He continue to work in her heart. I hope it wasn't "good-bye" tonight, rather "see you later" in a rockin' place upstairs!!
