"A sweet friendship refreshes the soul." - Proverbs 27:9a (MSG)
📢 Saying Goodbye to a Dear Friend Embarking on a New Journey 🌍
On June 29th, I experienced a mix of bittersweet emotions as I bid farewell to a dear friend, sister in Christ, and life coach, Amy Joob, and her family. They set off on an exhilarating new chapter, leaving the Chicagoland area behind to pursue fresh opportunities and a new beginning in sunny Florida. The last several months have been filled with pride and joy as I played a role in helping them pray, prepare, purge, and pack for this extraordinary journey.
Since the fall of 2022, Amy has been an integral part of my life, providing invaluable support and guidance during times of grief. Her unwavering dedication, contagious enthusiasm, and compassionate nature have left an indelible impact on my home, my family, and my heart. Through the toughest of times, she has been a pillar of strength, lending a listening ear, offering guidance, and sharing uplifting words of encouragement.
As I bid farewell, I remember the countless times of spirit-filled intercession and fellowship we've shared. The heartfelt deep conversations over coffee, shared lunches, and the joyous celebrations that illuminated our lives as we witnessed God's hand moving in response to our prayers. These treasured memories will forever hold a special place in our hearts, serving as a reminder of the profound influence our friendship has had on our lives.
As Amy and her family embark on this unknown journey, I send them off with my warmest wishes and heartfelt prayers. May their new path be adorned with abundant opportunities, love, and success. May they discover happiness and fulfillment in their new home, guided by the Holy Spirit and the grace and confidence found in our Savior, Jesus the Messiah.
While physical distance may separate us, our bond remains unbreakable. Technology will bridge the miles, allowing us to stay connected, share stories, and continue supporting one another. I eagerly anticipate updates on their new adventures, accomplishments, and the joy that awaits their beautiful family.
Although I bid farewell on that Thursday, June 29th, it is not a permanent goodbye. Instead, it is a temporary "see you soon," as we eagerly await the day our paths will cross again. Until then, we carry the love and friendship we have nurtured in our hearts, knowing that true connections withstand the tests of time and distance.
To my dear friend Amy and her family, as you embark on this new chapter, remember that you carry my love, admiration, and unwavering support with you. Your courage and determination inspire not only me but also countless others, and I have no doubt that you will flourish wherever life takes you.
May your travels be smooth, your discoveries be exciting, and your future be filled with endless possibilities. Farewell, dear friend, until we meet again!
