Changes

Please forgive my long absense. I guess I'm always saying that...but I always have a good excuse, don't I?

Let's start with Friday. Friday was a big enough day to fill a few books. I moved into an apartment and it is gorgeous...pictures to come...however, I am currently at my parents' house because I have to dog-sit and make sure Brian eats real meals. (I have succesfully given him orange juice and grapes and a bagel so far today.) After the big move on Friday I took Joaquim to the airport at 7pm. A stressful, fast goodbye was followed by some "so what now?" tears back at my new home after I unpacked everything...but God is working on some things, that's for sure.

It was a great month having him here. We were busy busy busy with a trip to Iowa and a great time in Memphis, as well as dinners out meeting my friends and trying to find time to just relax. I am always amazed at how much more there is to learn, and how patient the Lord is in teaching us. Great things are always to come!!!

For now I'm trying to master the art of not being lonely. I'm trying to get involved more with church in small groups and choir (hopefully) and keep myself busy and healthy. But as I read this morning, busyness is not the solution to loneliness. GOD is. See, I'm learning? But let's just say I'll be ready for this lesson to end. ; )
