When You Say Goodbye

Sadly, goodbyes happen often at Bright Lights. It's no wonder that we even have a label on this blog dedicated to them! But though they happen often, it doesn't make it any easier to say goodbye to people that have become great friends, that will truly be missed.

Even as we are sad to say goodbye, we also remember how grateful we are to the Lord. That against all odds, He caused us to meet at Bright Lights, to learn together, and as the years went by, to lead and teach together.

So till next time! Goodbye to the Lees, Lynches and Mcdermotts...it's been an amazing journey!

I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy, For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now; Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: - Philippians 1:3-6

Goodbye Loh family...

So the Loh family (comprising of Carmen, Joy, uncle Jonathan and auntie Jackie) left for their Big Move to Canada on the 17th of July! There were a whole lot - I mean a whole lot - of people there to see them off! It was saddening, to see such a dearly loved family leave, but we know that it is all in God's plan and we'll meet again, right?
And on to the pictures...
Carmen and Suyin...Carmen and Abigail...
Carmen and Liz...
The three sweeeet little girls who came too! (Gloria, Maryann and Cheryl)
Auntie Suzi is directing us on a verse we had to recite with actions for the Loh family. It's pretty funny.
We sang the song that we always try to sing at airports when people leave... (notice I said try to sing... it doesn't quite work most of the time, because most people start to cry) Anyway, it's I Will Be Your Shield. A really beautiful song.More singing... We got stared at by passers-by but that was okay:)
A cute cheerful little flower thing from the Moi family. It's really amusing. And you can see Carmen and Phoebe crying in the background... I hope they don't kill me for this:) just kidding:)
A word of prayer for the family before they made their departure

So remember to keep them in prayer okay? Pray that they can adjust quickly to life in Canada and that they can settle into their new home. And that's all. God bless, everyone! :)
