okay so i got back to SLO today after an incredible weekend at home...both calvin crest and w/ the parents. it was good to have this opportunity...but now i'm back. i came home to an empty house. bare walls, empty rooms, somewhat desolate. i was ready to jump back into my car and drive away....but instead i began to unload. i too will be moving out soon, but not yet. it was hard to switch from a thriving community with newness and excitement to a barren house....where everyone is gone and i'm all alone. i'm sure that some friends are in town, but i'm having little luck in trying to find them. it's okay. lonely, but God will be my portion. when i'm alone i'm not alone because God is with me. it's easy for me to forget that...but i'm quickly reminded. i want to have a good outlook on this summer...i want to not be discouraged. God this is yours. i am empty and weak and ONLY YOU can make me strong...ONLY YOU can bring me joy.
