At the staff meeting today, we laughed. We laughed off the stress of Spring Vision Camp, we stared wide-eyed at the possibilities we are facing, we cast side glances of smiling eyes to each other, we let the joy and hope of transformed lives seep through our smiles.
In a week we will know where we are all going.
But for now, we enter the semester ahead stronger than before. Less flailing, more success was our intern motto, and I think it's held true. Sure, three-quarters of our team are still rookies, and Chief is learning her own lessons. But still, as we work together and as we watch our students, we know that this life is beautiful. Rich. Rewarding.
Some people don't like to talk about changes. I'm of the kind that does, because knowing what I will no longer have makes me relish each moment a little deeper. Like these staff meetings. Like the four years of friendship we have. Like the flops we've seen and the successes.
I felt the need to write but I didn't know what to write about, but I guess this topic is appropriate. Because when I look back at this, I'll remember that this morning, it became very, very real that next year our lives will all look very, very different. But that's okay. And even as we look at what's to come, we speak in encouragement and truth, out of knowing and loving each other.
Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life.
