the word nomad has been used to describe us in the journey we have been on this past year. seems fitting...especially considering the times we find ourselves in right now.
we knew when we moved into the place that we have been living in since labor day that this would be a 3 month arrangement before we would be moving on to another place to live. you'd think that i would be used to our plans being completely shaken up before another change to our already un-normal life, but it still brings stress and a whole lot of uncertainty.
we thought we would be moving one more time and be done with it during this internship...but plans fell through and there has just been a ton of uncertainty to what the rest of our time here might look like. but it's at times like this when I have seen small glimpses of the Church being what the Church is supposed to be...and I find a brand new hope in Christ. people being willing to have their lives interrupted to help make a difference in our lives. it's times like these when I wholeheartedly believe that the Church is the hope of the world. and if we could see the Church do this for those who aren't apart of the Church -- communities, cities, states, countries, the world would be turned upside down. despite our circumstances--i cling to the hope i have in Christ.
but it's still hard.
this time of year seems much harder when you don't have a place to call home. we had a taste of home this last week when mom and dad got to come out and visit for a week...but i think it left me wanting a little bit more of "home".
so this nomad still has hope in His Savior, the love and comfort of an amazing wife, family, and friends, and a roof over his head (even if it's not always in the same place), so I have to believe that everything is going to be ok.
