home

So my roommate has been gone a week now and I have learned a lot since her departure.1. Having everything exactly where you want it is not all it's cracked up to be. 2. Being a single dog parent is a little tougher than I remember it being 2 years ago. 3. A home isn't made by the actual house or what you fill it with but by the people that live there. Everyday sully and I adjust a little more but we sure do miss the laughs, the quiet noise, the fact that someone in the house could reach just about everything, and the fact that I always felt safe with her here. this time of year with a very hectic and time consuming work schedule it is especially hard for me to get out and be social or have a life. Having someone in the house before forced me willingly of course, to have some interaction with people when I got home from work. Coming home to a dog is wonderful but coming home to a person is even better.

This afternoon I left the house to go to church and I was exhausted, a little cranky, and feeling a lot disconnected. I got to church and just continued to pray Lord please take these feelings from me so that I Can fully devote my heart to worshiping you right now in this place. My prayer wasn't answered immediately but it was taken care of. The message from pastor Jon today went straight into ky heart like a dagger today as well (great timing since I was in a great mood not). I found my friends after church and suddenly everything was every more ok. we laughed, ate, laughed, and grocery shopped and I was again reminded that I am loved, not lonely, and needed to remember to not let myself get so far into a funk like that. My Jesus will take care of me and remind me that I am a beautiful daughter of His creating and I am never to forget that.

Just to sink the message in... I left my house today tired, cranky, and lonely... I came back loved, energized, and happy to have wonderful friends and a great church and savior to remind me of these things.
