Good-byes

20 days till we leave Kara yet we have already said good-bye to some of the best parts. The people. Well not the Kara people specifically but the people we love to see in Kara. A week ago we bid farewell to some of our dearest friends (you know who you are). And as hard as it was, I think it was good. Yes, you read me right, the parting was good. We have grown up together, laughed together, some have cried together and sang together. Yes we truly love each other. But imagine how many more people each of us will be able to know, love and encourage now that we are separating and going our own ways? When we are together as a group we benefit from each others company, but not often do we together do something for others. Alone, we can reach so many more. Can't you see, God has used these past seven years for each of our own reward. Now it's time to pass on what we have gained from each other, to those that we have not reached.

We can look at the past with longing, and desire that which we had so long ago. But at this very moment you have the opportunity to make the present, and the future, so much better. Don't live in regret. Don't dwell in what "used to be"'s or "remember when"'s. Not to say that reminiscing is bad, but don't become so sucked into what used to be that we forget about what can be.

Brian with your witts
Mark with your charm
Navarre - ever so sly
And Izzy's forearm!
Abby with your giggle
Chris- promoting peace
Kylie with your sensitivity
Jewels - joy to increase
Ben, oh so opera
Now what's left to say?
My TGB friends have been covered
Hope this made your day

;)
