Thursday/Friday

Thursday:
It was our last day at the Promise House, and it was the last day that it was open. (The rent ended that day). It was actually really sad to watch one of the girls leave, and see the other girls cry. It was hard to explain to Glenda that I wasn't going to see her again, and it breaks my heart to even think that if I see her again it will be in a year.

Friday:
Our last day at CIPI. Which was really ironic because it was the day Marta and Miguel moved out. We spent the morning in the library as usual, and then went to the nursery area (where most of the teen moms and their kids stay) and Miguel ran up to us and was like "Take me with you! I want to go with you!" and we were so confused, then we found out that they were moving out. The hardest part is that they didn't even know where they were going. I still don't know where they're going to stay...

We had a good night with everyone Thursday night and last night, but that doesn't take away how hard it is to leave the girls and the kids. I know God has a plan for them, but sometimes it's really hard to accept that I may not understand that plan for a long time.

Today's our last day, and we're spending it with the girl I lived with last year. We're having a Bible study at the Hope House and then going shopping for stuff for my family. It's kinda hard today because now that there's no Promise House I just want to be home. I feel like there's no need for me here, even though I know God will show me what I'm supposed to do next.

Please pray for me and Katie as we fly home tomorrow, and as I drive home from Dallas (along with Rebekah and Peyton) on Tuesday.
