After the Party

My going away party has ended. Laurie hosted a going away party for me this Wednesday night. The whole event was surreal. The actual fact that I am completely moved into my new house hasn't sunk in yet. It feels more like a temporary vacation than a permanent residence.

There are many perks! There is a basketball court right outside our backdoor. There is a clothing store called Rainbow, and it had an amazing sale this week. The little ones have already stolen my heart. I have freedom to write my little heart out. Getting use to the city is easier than I had predicted.

I haven't dealt with many of my emotions. I don't wish to deal with them on my blog. I will save that tirade for my close girlfriends. But, I will take the time to acknowledge God's gracious provision. He has constantly provided for me in ways I would have never imagined. He has been so generous that I often feel guilty for receiving. But, I know He is bringing me to a place of humility and gratitude. The generosity of my friends and family has astonished me! Rachel and Danny, Sarah and Kunle, Mom and Dad, Laurie, Hannah Beene!!! Your love and support has staggered me!
