Having grown up in so many different places, you would think I would be inherently amazing at coping with the twists and turns of life. However, in all my ever-flexing views of life and states, the reality could not be all the more far from me. The lessons that I gained from growing up in California, across to Ohio, and momentarily resting in down-home Oklahoma have stayed with me, urging me fly freely and just trust.......
In all this glorious freedom comes hesitation to return to the comfort of what has always been.... the unconditional-constant-unsurpassing-unwavering love that has come only from family and is churning with anticipation for something similar, something loyal, something true..... the longing to return to the safety of my childhood. The daily decisions consisted of nothing more or tragically complex than choosing between which Cheerios or Raisin Bran or what color Jolly Rancher to choose at the dentist's office. The reality that nothing will EVER be constant has hit like a welcomed and necessary load. This allows me to rest in the fact that my every move is calculated by the Lord, my Guider and Protector. What a breath of fresh and comforting air that I will never let slip from my reach!
