I have not blogged in a while. I guess I have been pretty busy or maybe just not inspired to write my thoughts. Either way, I am back with a few things to say for anyone who wants to read them!
So this week is full of important dates. Important to me anyway....
Today, my house has been on the market for 8 months. I never thought it would take this long to sell! However, it has worked out pretty well living with my mom. She likes to cook for me and take me out to dinner so I would say it's a pretty sweet deal. I also feel like I am reconnecting with her. We have always been close but now we are getting really good at being friends and I like that.
On Thursday the 27th I will have been in Mississippi for six months. It is hard to believe it has been half of a year. In so many ways it seems like just yesterday that I was in Asheville packing my car. And then in so many ways it seems like a lifetime ago. I am so blessed that I got to visit over Christmas break. It was so much fum and so nice to be there with people I am familiar with. Honestly, if home is where the heart is, mine beats in two places! I am blessed.
I am still trying to find my place here but I know it is happening and will continue to happen the longer I am here. I was reading Mark 2 today. It is a really good chapter that teaches a lot about the heart of Jesus. One is the story of the four friends bringing the paralytic to Jesus. I love that story and was reminded, this morning, that I want those kinds of friends and I want to be that kind of friend. I think it is rare but I know that it can happen and that is my prayer.
And lastly, this week seven years ago was the last time I talked to my dad. When I hung up the phone with him that last time he said he would call me soon. Seven years later I don't know where he is or what he is doing. I don't know if I will ever see him again. I know that he has missed seven years of my life (and then some). I would like to just be able to say "his loss" but it's mine too. Every girl wants their daddy. I am no different even after seven years without him in my life.
So this week holds a lot of emotions for me. I am still in a waiting stage in my life. Through all of this God has really shown me how blessed I am. God has shown me how He has held my hand every step of the way in every situation. He has truly blessed my life and I know that He will continue to walk with me through these things too!
