It's Been Awhile...

Hope requests a post, and as I am her roommate, and must please her as much as possible, I am trying to acquiesce. As I start this journey of the writing process, I am unsure of what to write... not that it matters much, since only Hope will be reading this :) Hi Hope!

Christmas break, or any break for that matter, is always an interesting time. I come "home" to a place where there is literally no place for me to unpack my bag, and barely room for me to sleep, let alone move around. I try to spend time with my family, but end of getting cabin fever and suffocating in this house, and going to the mall or a friends house instead. This makes me fell guilty, especially with younger siblings needing love and attention, but I am unsure of what else to do!


I love spending time with my extended family in particular however. This group of people is just amazing, and even though we do not see each other much, we are able to pick up where we left off and just have fun together. How grateful I need to be for the wisdom and love of these people!

Then there is the issue of prioritizing. Because of the lack of structure and lack of freedom of time at home, I usually end up putting off devotions, and any forms of spending time with my Heavenly Father - which I soon notice in my daily walk. There is no place at home to go and be quiet, alone with God. My mind wanders, and I cannot focus. These are excuses, but truths just the same.

I have decided many things over break however. Many of these have to do with the future. I will likely be writing a checklist for the New Year - goals (long and short term), and wishes.

I long to return to the place that truly feels like home for me - school. Thinking of it that way, I am not sure how I am going to be able to leave it, but I know that God has exciting things in store for me, probably in Denver, Colorado :) I look forward to the long talks, meetings and planning that will occur over the next few months as we all decide our futures (for the short-term at least). I also anticipate preparing for an amazing trip with amazing women to Kolkata in May.

I should probably go to bed, I am attempting to practice being a college student and actually staying up past 11 again :) More to come at some point in my life :)
