Just keep swimming....

I am back from San Juan Safe and Sound! I have mixed personal feelings about the week on the whole, but am thankful for the experience that God gave us there.

I feel soooooo separated from EVERYTHING, but alas I know God needs me to connect first with Him. So many things about life seem so odd right now. God sure has interesting ways of reminding me who's in charge.

- The time of my life I thought I'd be back at bement, yet it's some of my closest friends who are either their for the first time or going back.

- That while living in a highly puertorican complex (brazilian and african too, but mostly puerto rican) that I feel like I fit in better in San Juan than in my own neighborhood.

- Just as I think I am getting into a well working relationship with my pastor, he moves to Texas.

Like I said before, God is making sure I remember to rely on Him, not on mankind. I am so grateful for Tim and my family, of course the ladies at church have been great... I don't know quite what I expected my life to look like right now, but things are sure interesting...

Like I've been telling people when they ask me how I'm dealing with life
I have gotten so used to surprises and dissapointments and changes of plans, that I am more surprised when things acctually go the way I expected them to. I don't know how but I think I've learned to just deal with the blows as they come.

I just hope I am not going numb again- that was a portion of life I don't want to repeat.

Just keep swimming...
