This last two weeks has been a whirlwind of activity. As it has drawn to a close, endings are on my heart. A look back at the endings of the past... the knowledge that these will not be the last... and an accounting of the blessings that have come with being willing to endure the pain of them to continue living into who we were created to be.

It is so strange to think that we only lived two years in this home. The growth we saw as individuals and as a family seemed much greater than two years could hold. But here we are, looking back with the advantage of hindsight, seeing the grace that brought us here and the space it holds out ahead of us as we go.

Thank you to all who have been part of our Kansas City journey. We are so glad that leaving a beloved home does not mean that the people are gone. Time moves on and we will look forward to seeing you and celebrating life whenever we see you again.

Breathe in memories, breathe out hope.

I love you all.
