a prayer request

As I tucked in 4 little girls to bed I held back tears knowing that soon I won't have them to tuck in anymore. It's tough being an auntie- knowing that you only have them for a short period of time. I have to deal with the fact that I may never see some of them again on earth, but in heaven. 

This post is short. It's short because for the first time publicly I'm asking for prayer. Prayer for the aunties hearts as they are preparing to say bye to these children. Prayers for the kids as some of them have addressed their sadness for leaving. Prayers for us as we walk into our next season, whatever that may be. 

Today we entered our last state and through Darya's obnoxious screaming (she's from Ohio) -- something whispered "are you ready?" 

I looked at my map on my phone and saw each state we covered and still while Darya yelled about her state, I thought back on moments from each state. What I learned from each state and how I grew. I can honestly say that I have never in my life been this tried, ever. However, I have never been this happy. This is the best thing I've ever done in my life. 

I've met people who I will never forget, people who love me and I love them. People who listen to me and pray for me. I've met some of my best friends and I've met some people who will for sure be a part of my future. I am thankful for each life I have been honored to get to know.
