I'm moving (to a different place on the mountain w/ my very own kitchen) and I began to wade through my stuff today. I started small and came across a small bunch of stuff from college. Some stuff (poorly taken pictures in which the subject matter is hard to see) I have tossed. Other stuff made me realize how richly God has blessed me. There were young women I was in college with that had a huge amount of compassion - at a time where I needed it more than I realized - and I never took them up on their offers. I thought I'd be alright because I had no idea what was around the corner for me afterwards.
I have been trying to figure out what is around the next corner for me. . . . and I have no idea. I just know that I have a job to go to on Monday. I am very thankful for this. I am allowed to put my nose to the grindstone and allow my mind to be rescued from the many questions I have about the future.
My new residence will become a home - a place where true respite will be found in more than just sleeping. I pray that the Lord will allow me to use it to help other people find rest and discover what they are good at. This won't happen overnight, but that is my goal for my new place.
