Home


This week has been a week of change. I moved into my new place with completely new roommates. The first few days were really hard. I didn't feel like I was "home". I felt like I was living in a hotel and that I would go home later. They say "Home is Where the Heart Is". Well, I guess my heart isn't here. I was just feeling lost.

About half-way through the week, I started feeling a little better. Nothing changed, just my attitude, I guess. Things are still weird/not normal. But I like my place and my new roommates. It's still not home, but it will do.

So I've realized something...I'm not very good at this whole "change" thing. I've gone through a lot of changes in the past little bit. I feel like I've lost some of the people that are very closest to me-I didn't want to, but they slipped away. Moving here has distanced me from my former life and friends. My family is facing some big changes now too. And well, I'm just not very good at it. But I'm trying my very hardest! I've been meeting a ton of people. My goal is to make it to every apartment in Old Farm. We'll see how it goes. I think that by going out of my way to meet people, it will help me forget myself and focus on others. I know the Lord sends us experiences and changes to make us grow. He will lead the way. He has to because I sure don't know where I'm going.

Walking by faith is never an easy task. I wonder if those great examples of faith we read and hear of didn't feel quite lonely and even hurt inside while wading through the issue at hand and only after they embarked in their direction of choice felt the burning affirmation of the Spirit that it was right. Did they struggle inwardly with feelings of emptiness at the onset of their journeys as well?
