So I'm back from Thanksgiving break now. It was a good but short break. I realized that Gardendale isnt really my home anymore. My actual house was just as comfortable and familiar to me but the people and the town isn't anymore. I went to church Thursday and didn't even know half the people there. All my high school friends have seemed to kind of vanish too. I find it very hard to say I am good friends with anyone from highschool anymore. I only saw one person while I was home. That was Laura. So many things are the same but so many things are different with us. We just havent had the same experience with college so we can't relate with as many things. It was still really good to see her again. I had missed her.
I am thinking I may not be home for Summer this year. I think God may be calling me to go to beach project. Thinking about that last year, I was not in the least bit reseptive to doing it. The idea of horrible living conditions and a minimum wage job was not in the least bit appealing to me. But now I may even think it may be fun. I just felt today during the sermon that God was really telling me that. Over the last couple of years I have kind of lost my joy. I feel like this year I have been gaining a lot of it back and I think it is because I am just so surrounded by God here. I think that I really need that. Not to say I couldnt get involved in a lot of things in Gardendale but I just really feel like that will be the best way for me to submerse myself in Him. I will just keep praying about it and if there is actually anyone who reads this and feels led to pray for me then you can do so. Also pray for me because I'm going to have a little bit of a stressful week. If I can manage this week then I should be good. Well actually through next Tuesday then I will be really good.
