Here I Am!

Well, it has been awhile since I posted and so many things have happened. But the long and short of it is, I made it to Bolivia! One of my trunks did not make it through yesterday, but it got in today. I will have to put a picture on here when I get internet at home. One whole side has been busted and was wide open. It looks like they tried to use one of my hardback books to be the missing side, which bent the book nicely. Anyway, it was covered in shrinkwrap when I got it, and Annette and I opened everything up and it looks like almost everything is there. Praise the Lord. I may be missing a few things, but I won't know until I get completely unpacked. I could have put them someplace else and just thinking that they were in there.

Life is tough right now. I am neck-deep in transition which means I am all over the place emotionally. One of my friends explained that it was a lot like grieving someone's death. You hear something or think of something and start crying because it reminds you of life before. I am on an emotional roller coaster - in the span of 15 minutes I can be smiling and laughing and then crying and aching in my heart. Being by myself in my apartment is the worst. But hopefully each day it will get a little easier, and feel more like I belong here. That is really what I am aching for. I am tired of not belonging to any place. The hardest part is the people I belong to (my fam) are a continent away, and I miss them like crazy!

So, I am floundering a bit, but God is still good. He comforts me, sends me friends, encourages me to get outside, and tries to keep my thinking right.

I guess that is about it right now. Send any questions or comments, but please remember that I may be awhile before responding.

Love ya!
