Boy have I missed blogging! I sit now at one of my dearest friends house in SC trying to prepare for this last week in SC before returning to CO. I must keep my head in the game! The kids and I have been traveling for 2 entire months! It's been a long time to be out and about, away from home but we've made it!
We have visited a ton of family and friends. We have been so blessed by the company of those we've been able to see. We've been staying with Port's dad WAY out in the country where internet and cell phone reception are nearly unheard of! I've been out of my element to say the least but I try hard to hang on the the principle that as Christians we are called to live a life out of our comfort zones. We have to get out of the boat!
We've been to Atlanta, NC and KY in the two months of being on the go.Riley of course has continued to be sick with severe asthma,allergies, an ear infection and most recently pneumonia. Good thing I packed her nebulizer! We've taken a break from schooling for the most part and have just taken the time to enjoy a different kind of life. We spent a week with my amazing husband and now it must be enough to carry me through until we are together again.
I've learned a lot of the last 2 months. I continue to strive to be more accepting of my faults, caring less of what others think of me(including the world) and more comfortable in my own skin. I've had a lot of time to think, to really hear what God is saying and to figure out who I am and who I want to be. Thankfully, we are all works. Though I get that home for me is not on this earth, I also think there is something to be said for being in a place you call yours, a safe place, a sanctuary, a place where I wait for my husband to return from another months in the field, a most recent deployment.
I have become more thankful and my eyes have been opened to things I didn't even know existed. I have learned so much from those around me and even what real genuine friendship is about. Let's be thankful friends. Let's not judge until we've walked a mile in that person's shoes. Let's strive to be who Christ created us to be.
Never did I ever imagine that I would trade the ocean for my mountains!
