Nesting


So I have been back home a week now and it is so good to be home.

I am a nester. I am someone who has moved quite a bit in the last 6-7 years of my life. And as soon as I move in somewhere I immediately start to put up pictures and carve out my little niche in whatever space it is that I now inhabit at.

I have to feel comfortable and at home. I have realized how important it is to me to have that space that is mine. A place that is just somewhere where I can be quiet.

I have a crazy job, that I love. Work has been really crazy lately with normally three people handling our work load and now down to one, that one being me :)

Usually when I have a crazy hard day from working all day with kids that have been sexually abused I just work out or vedge or do something. But have not really been afforded that luxury as of late due to numerous crazy factors. Which has made me crazy :) As my roomie can attest too.

But in this time of stress and being stretched, I have realized how important it is to take care of myself. To carve out that moment if that is all I have for quietness where I can get refreshed from my Father who whispers in my ear, "you will be alright, we will make it through this, I promise. I have behind you, before you, and all around. I surround like light. I am your creator," and I take a deep breath and know that I am exactly where I am supposed to be, and I just take one step forward knowing that I am on the right path, even when the waves rage and crash around me.

I will make it. :)

I did the call to worship Sunday and I read the beginning of Psalms 139, and the prayer that followed was about this concept that God hems us in from behind and leads us through his urges as a lamp to the righteous path and that is a mystery yet so comforting. I agree that you are doing what God created you for, showing kids love who have been lied to by this wold about love is. Keep it up little sis love you.
