| | I have emerged after a long silence. This has been one heck of a year and I just haven't had the energy or mindset to write. A year ago in June my life changed in a big way, a year ago is when all the madness started.
In the last year:
I entered into a relationship, engagement and marriage
I planned said marriage in three months from overseas
I put that wedding together in a week
I said 4 hard goodbyes to 4 good friends
I crossed the Pacific 4 times
I taught over 35 children
I moved apartments
I survived 20 ulcers
It's been a good year and a hard year. Actually when pressed I really don't remember most of it. I let a lot of things go (ie friendships, discipline and passion, spiritual relationship, my waist line) It's hard to reconnect with myself after I've lost myself in busyness and stress. It's hard to draw near to God and drink in his grace when I have been so burnt out and dry. All of the sudden I have emerged a year later from my cocoon of change a little lost, a little fat and a lot married.
(marriage is great by the way, I highly suggest)
I seem to have lost direction in my life. Being far from God I have lost sight of my passion for his glory and service to Him. Being burnt out I have baked in the sun of indifference for so long. The things that once defined me have changed and I need to rediscover myself and who I am in Christ and as a citizen of this world. These short term goals of weddings, moving, travel, and surviving have choked out any long term goals I once had.
So here's to long term goals. Over the next few days, nay weeks I will try to pray and focus more on where the Lord leadeth me and my new family (family as in Rick and I). Please, if you think on it, pray for me as well. I am in serious need to watering and in serious need of growing. I plan on spending less time on frivolous things and more time of productive things, like thinking, reading, writing and growing my herb garden.
I plan on returning to the world of writing and blogging. Keep yer eyes peeled.
