15 years ago my sister & I scraped together a small down payment & purchased a multi-family property.   It was an awesome decision & I'm so glad we did.  We loved that house.  

We thought we'd always own it.  It felt like an achor or a beacon & gave us steady ground and a place to always call home, no matter if we lived there or not.  We thought maybe someday when we were old we'd move back into one of the apartments.  

But life, as it often does, took us in other directions.  Amazing directions.  Our love for the house never deminished, but we knew it was time to move on.   We live in other states now, which we both adore.  

So today we said goodbye to our first house.  And it was bitter sweet.  Mostly sweet.  Oh so very sweet.  But also a tiny bit bitter, like moving on from a first love.  Letting go of memories & dreams are hard sometimes, even if it's what you really want.  

Goodbye house.  May you continue to be loved.   

'Goodbye,' he said. 'I will come back to you again if it is God's will.'

(Acts 18:21)

Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn." (Romans 12:15)

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. (Jeremiah 29:11)
