Tears...Memories...Footwashing...and Car Wreck chasing?!

I had my small group girls over for the last time before I leave on Saturday night. I started the night off with a very special foot washing. The girls and I first became a "small group", 2 summers ago at Last Blast, we did a foot washing that summer. So, I decided that doing another foot washing a year and a few months later would be like a closing book end on our time together! I had candles and worship music (our small group songs) and had all four girls sit on the chairs and I went around the circle and just washed their feet. I thanked them for allowing me to serve them. Through many tears we managed to go around and they told me how I had impacted their life and I went around and gave them each a piece of advice.


As we were finishing up the foot washing and were ready to just have a fun night now that we had gotten the tears out of the way. We headed upstairs and much to my surprise everyone was gone...but the doors were open...I was so confused. Come to find out...a car rolled in the ditch around the corner from our house. So we went and watched! The kid seemed to be okay...which was good..they put a neck brace on him..but that could just be as a precaution. As we were standing there watching..they got another call for an accident on the other corner from my house...holy cow...this never happens! So..my girls were like...lets go to that crash...so we jumped in the car and drove over there..that one wasn't as exciting, so we left shortly and went to get junk food at the store. Headed back to my house...ate..reminisced...and watched YouTube videos! LOL! We made a T-bell run at about 2 am or so...and came back...watched more videos and reminisced some more. About 4:30 am we finally crashed! Then we all overslept...OPPS! The night was good...fun memories...joy....tears...LOVE!
