"I'm Coming Home...

...To the place where I belong!"  Only three more days till I leave!  I can't wait!

It's been a pretty stressful few weeks.  I'm not enjoying my job at all.  There's a lot going on there - kids and staff.  While I know in my head that I am extremely blessed to have such a great job that gives me so much vacation, benefits, retirement, good pay, etc, I can't help but be unhappy. Everyone knows that when they start dreaming and/or having nightmares about work, it's time to take a break...which leads me to: "I'm coming home to the place where I belong..."

My roommate and I are parting ways.  We're good, just at two different places.  She found an apartment and will be moving out by June 1.  Which means, I need to find a place by then as well.  Not going to be fun...It's got me stressed quite a bit.  I am looking...there are some options, but most want renters right away.  That's no good.  And..."I'm coming home..." so it's going to be tough looking for places while I'm in CA...

Some good things:

-Hikes with Amy (see pictures)

-The three straight days of sun we've gotten!  Yes folks - it's been in the upper 40's lower 50's!  Bust out those flip flops!

-A car that STILL RUNS!

-A ticket home!

-3 1/2 weeks away from work

-A chance to see my family and friends back home

-"I'm coming home to the place where I belong!"

Here's the song...it's called "Home".

See you all soon!

Blessings!

Sing Alleluia

An entry from my personal journal:

"I never thought that something on cable TV would bless me and bring me to such tears.  No, I didn't cry much.  But wow...

"There are so many reasons I can't wait to get to heaven, and the greatest will always be to see Jesus face to face and be with Him physically, for all of eternity.  I can't even wrap my mind around that...It's going to be awesome!  I can't wait to see my grandpa again, and all the other people I miss - friends and family.  I can't wait to talk to the martyrs and hear their stories.  And I get to do this forever...what a blessing!

"I was watching 'The Best of the Dove Awards' on cable tonight.  Sure, there were artists and songs I didn't much care for and that I would rather not listen to you.  But there was one point where the whole audience was singing  God praise and worshiping Him.  It was beautiful!  Even as I think about it, it brings tears to my eyes.  There, in a room filled with professional musicians, all singing together in harmony in worship!  Wow...Never have I heard a more beautiful sound.  I can only imagine that heaven will be just like that!  I get to sing with all the professionals and worship with them!  And I can't wait!"

It's about 11:30pm as I write this, and my heart is so full and so happy that I can't sleep!  This song I've put on the blog is the one I've been listening to and singing with all night long.  I want to dance and belt it out!  I should...my roommate is not around...

I hope you are blessed tonight.
