It’s a shame that I haven’t posted since November. But – life has
been CRAZY so I’ll use that as an excuse….for now. ;o) A ton has
happened since I last posted so… here we go…
I moved to Moody!! Woot!! My roommate ended up not having to work out of town so much so he’s basically here all the time. But – I kind of like it that way. I’d probably be super lonely if he was gone a ton. Things are going really well. We get along. We cook a good bit. It’s been AWESOME. So far it’s been drama and issue free and I really think it’s going to stay that way! It makes my heart happy.
Since moving back to Moody I’ve also started going to Bethel, my home church, again. I thought it’d be weird but… it’s actually been kind of awesome. It’s super nice to be home.
I do miss certain things about Branch Life. I miss the people like crazy. and – there’s nothing better than Josh’s teaching. and – there’s something to be said about the community there. I haven’t experienced it anywhere else I’ve been. It’s what I miss most.
This week I did get to spend some time with the guys and tonight I got to celebrate with a friend that got ENGAGED tonight. It was SO nice to be able to spend time with those people! To be with them, love on them, catch up with them. It was refreshing.
Other friendships are changing. Ones that I didn’t expect to change. Ones I didn’t want to change. Ones that I’m super confused as to why they’re changing. and – I can’t stop it. I have no control here…and, honestly, it was DRIVING ME CRAZY. I’m one who needs explanation. If someone is mad… I want to know. It’s not easy for me to just let it go. But – it’s getting easier. I don’t want to force someone to be in my life that doesn’t want to. and – if they don’t want to…then I should be okay with that. So… today…. today I’m okay with it. Today. Man, today I’m happy! and – I haven’t been for a little while now. So – I’m going to embrace it and hold onto it while it lasts because there’s just about nothing better.
I wasn’t looking forward to this semester….AT ALL. I didn’t know if I wanted to continue. I thought doing school was a mistake. I. WAS. WRONG. Even if I don’t finish… or don’t end up using this degree…. I’m really learning a lot and the Lord seems to be speaking to me through these classes. I’m reading a book about leadership right now and the author talks a lot about finding your “calling”. He challenges you to really think about what you’re naturally good at. and – to think about what your gifts are. I don’t necessarily know what my “calling” is but… I do know that I love people. I love encouraging them, spending time with them, laughing with them, crying with them. I just love people. I have an idea of what I kind of want to do with that… I’m just not sure how I can make it happen. So… I’m going to pray about it and see where that leads!
For the first time…in a long time… I feel joy. I feel peace. and – the tears I’m crying are not tears of sadness. ::sighs:: Finally.
Happy Sunday…whoever you might be. Happy Sunday, indeed.
