wow

it is amazing to me how God has provided! strength. peace. comfort. and more strength.

There is bittersweet change. God gives peace. There is large empty space. God gives smaller, less-expensive dwelling. There are alone moments. God gives new friends. He is so Amazing and Awesome!!

Then... WHAM!!! there is another burden. God, please give me wisdom!

Pain is deep. Doubly so when carrying others' burdens. I am glad that others can trust me. I want to be there for friends, even at 4a.m. And at the same time I feel so far removed; I'm not sure how to get close so that I can make a difference.

Sorry for the ramblings. Please pray for me when you think of it and for my friend(s) as well!

(More to come later about the new apartment! Happiness!)

Change...

... is painful. exciting. sad. exhausting. interesting. and all around life-changing. Funny how that works.

I've been thinking a lot lately about how that everything I do, everything that anyone does, will always affect others too. No one is a lone non-affecting soul. There is someone who will experience side-effects along with you. Sometimes it can be a very special, happy time and sometimes it is bittersweet and very tough!

Changes take place every day and are just a part of life. Every once in awhile there is a really big change that will take place that isn't a daily expected event.

I'm on the receiving end of one of those big changes this summer.
