Time to Say Goodbye

The weather in this week was unusual. It was sunny in the day, cloudy in the afternoon, and heavy rain pours down in the evening. Several times I was stuck in Carmichael Recreation Center. I didn’t mind staying there longer since I didn’t know that would I have any chance to be there again? I have a gloomy feeling that I never ever had before. I should have expected the day would eventually come, but I was either too busy or too happy to notice it until it approaches close to me. It is so overwhelming that I cannot stand it.

In addition to the degree, the best gain is that I have friends here. Knowledgeable and helpful are the most appropriate words that describe them. I am sure I won’t be able to befriend with a group like them in the future. Some friends come a long way to the parties. Some of them left and got jobs in other cities, however, Raleigh serves as a piece of magnet which attracts affiliated ones. It is great to see them on the eve of my departure. One day the magnetic power must be getting weak after they build their own families and careers, but none could deny a city like this with peace, freedom, and convenience is where they seek. I also met Prof. Pearce and Prof. Walker to show my gratitude for their instructions and receive their blessings. I promise them I will come back to the US in the near future. It is actually my wish, not a promise.

After the last service on Sunday, the pastor said I can try using the church’s network to immigrate. I shook my head and said “it is too late.” And I knew if it were working, some of my friends could be here, not elsewhere in the world. I just hope the pastor can pray for me for taking out my sorrow and imbuing me with wisdom and strength. I haven’t baptized but my heart cried out if He is Almighty, He must pave a road leading to a victory for me, then the glory is His.
