Hard to Leave

The time has come for me to fly back to Arkansas, and I'm having mixed feelings. Arkansas is the place that I currently call my home, but Minnesota will always feel like home to me in my heart. Leaving here makes me ache, and I wish I didn't have to go. Trusting God with where He has me right now is very difficult, but I do trust Him...

A good day indeed...

What is my version of joy you ask?


My version of joy is being 1000 miles away from Arkansas in a place that feels like home on a beautiful, stormy evening...

It's good to be back in Minnesota...

Wishing you all the best,

What's Missing?

So, all things considered, my life seems to be back on some sort of a track again. I found a college that will accept my credits and they accepted me less than 24 hours after I applied. I have a steady job that pays fairly well, and spiritually I feel like I'm growing closer to God every day. So why do I feel so empty? Lately I've just felt like a part of me is missing, and I don't know what it is. I'm trying to be myself, but I don't feel like me at all. My social life is non-existent, and I feel very alone. It seems like the harder I try to find a group of friends or even aquaintances to spend time with, the more lonely I become. I know that I'm where God wants me to be right now, but I'd be lying if I said I was enjoying it.

In other news, I'm going with my family to Minnesota, July 9th through the 17 for a family reunion. I had originally planned on skipping this trip so that I could go to Colorado with a few of my friends, but I was unable to come up with enough money for tha trip. I would much rather go to Colorado this summer, but Minnesota will have to do.
