Well, I stayed home for school. Classes were available online through my college, so I stuck with those and am taking a full semester (praise the LORD!) so my loans are still in effect this term. The church community here has been so strong and easy to get plugged into. I feel like even if some friendship dynamics are changing while I am home, I have no worry that I am on my own or without a close friend if I need one. Also, more importantly, I am eager to be helping others. I guess I just am really getting hooked on being of service to others sometimes. It feels so right, I mean I have a life to live and I don't think it needs to be all about me...
Alternatively, and shamelessly, I have spent an entire two days at home (avoiding people a bit) because I just want to be alone....that isn't good either. I think I struggle knowing that loving my family in Christ should be no different at the house than outside of it. It is hard for me to be in my own house because though I see my whole family growing, it is small, baby steps. Steps I want to encourage, but often want to take for them. I want to step in with eagerness for them to be closer with Jesus!! Lord providing, He keeps humbling me though. Piece by piece.
;) love life. I love how He does it.....
