Back to the Books

 

 

Sitting in my sweet little home abode last night for the first time in a month

was such a bittersweet feeling.

 

being home for a month

after living life for yourself hundreds of miles away for months

is like a vacation, a long long vacation.

 

 I never thought I'd see the day where I came home to my chaotic little home

5 people on 5 different schedules with 100 things happening at any given minute

as peaceful.

While I was on the go quite a bit

when I was home, I'd often find myself just sitting and observing.

In a given 3 minutes, every family member had a different request of me.

"Play with me"

"Lets go get milkshakes"

"Come tell me about your day"

"Look at my instagram picture"

"Lets watch a movie"

 

after being on my own for 4 months, just me, my agenda, my time, my decisions, my choices

I just enjoyed soaking up the unique feeling of home, that I've known as normal for 18 years

but now, is simply a treasure on my vacation.

 

being back,

is a blessing

I had forgotten how it felt to be alone

and it feels amazing, by the way. ;)

I have loved just unpacking, and organizing, and getting groceries and just

preparing for the amazing semester that is ahead of me.

 

Cant wait to see what the Lord does for me in these next few months.

Thanks for taking the journey with me :)
