Laughter. There’s been a lot of this lately-especially with Ryan around. He really is mature and good at handling difficult situations, but at the same time….he still likes to touch every. single. thing. we walk past in target. Oh, and have dance parties in the car. He reminds me to laugh and have fun.
Insane. There is soo much going on right now. Packing.Work. Cleaning. Organizing. Work. Shopping for things. Last times with friends. Time with my parents. Time with Ryan. Time with Ryan’s family. Work. Packing. Thinking through everything I’ll need out there. HELP!!!!
Financially expensive. I’m starting to be my own person in this regard. It’s HARD! Being a big girl and not buying everything I want is no fun! I’m learning how to save, to budget, to think through things before I buy. Boo hoo!
Exciting. With all of this change, there’s going to be some definite struggles and tears. But I’m doing it. I have to! I’m ready to! Bring. It. On!!
Life is….. not exactly as I had planned.
“Imagine yourself as a living house. God comes in to rebuild that house. At first, perhaps, you can understand what he is doing. He is getting the drains right and stopping the leaks in the roof and so on: you knew that those jobs needed doing and so you are not surprised.
But presently he starts knocking the house about in a way that hurts abominably and does not seem to make sense. What on earth is he up to? The explanation is that he is building quite a different house from the one you thought of — throwing out a new wing here, putting on an extra floor there, running up towers, making courtyards.
You thought you were going to be made into a decent little cottage: but he is building up a palace. He intends to come and live in it himself.”
