leaving

I think I have a hard time leaving people.
I also think I tend to make myself hardened to that.
We are probably leaving Mount Pleasant soon, which means leaving His House, which means leaving many people I have known for 0-4+ years.
It's pretty tough.
Last night Kassie went to hangout with some old roommates and I was wandering around, visiting some people and stuff. I eventually went to the library and checked my email and realized the worship team was hanging out at the church at 8. When I noticed this it was 8:48 but I decided to check it out anyway.
I walked along the windy, icy paths and made it to the church a little after 9 to find Joey V., Matt Martin, Jesse V., and Kristen Klenkster on the stage.
Interestingly, when I was thinking about the people I would miss the most, or at least the people I have spent the most regular time with this past semester, I thought of the worship team (for some reason that didn't remind me that there was a worship team hangout).
So, we were sitting and eating and talking. Joe was telling us some things he has been learning and thinking about lately, and he ended it by having us reflect/listen/pray/meditate for 10 minutes while listening to music.
As I was laying on the stage, between the speaker and the REAL Christmas tree, I was thinking about how much I would miss the church, being able to go there and worship with people and jam or just go and spend time alone with God or practice piano or whatever.
The church we are most likely moving to doesn't own a building. While it doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things, I am going to miss having a church building.
I am going to miss many things and especially many people. I guess without hardening myself to the sadness of leaving, I need to learn to say goodbye while also looking forward to what God has planned for the future.
