Right now, I sit in my bright teal room, the sun peaking through my curtains as it often does on a sunny afternoon. I think about this past year and all the fun times and sad times.
One thing that I vividly remember about this year was our long summer vacation. We visited every state west of the Mississippi River in a little over 3 months. What an adventure that was. :) I collected various items, and now, every time I pick up a necklace I purchased or slip on my Minnetonka moccasins, I think of every place we went.
But this year also brought something sad, yet very real to the front of my mind... moving to Pennsylvania. Since my dad was retiring shortly before our trip, he had to look for another job as soon as possible. I had this vision in my mind of moving in quite a few years... I can't leave Virginia. I have lived here for almost 8 years, and a wonderful 8 years its been. But now I can't help but almost 'count down' how many months we have left here. And i hate it. I don't want to think that way. I want to treasure every moment I have here and remember every good memory that has been made. But right now I am struggling to trust God for provision. I don't want to move... I really times infinity(and more) don't want to move. But I have to. Right now, it is a matter of being thankful for every day that I have here and every day that I have left... every friend that I have made and every friend that I will make...
