shes home.

she sits on the couch surrounded by people who are real, and honest, and family. finally she belongs. finally she fits. finally she is wanted. and she couldnt be more confused about it all than she is at this moment in time. she knows what the days ahead hold. they hold both hope and joy along with pain and suffering. the lord has so much to deal with in her. these people here will be her refuge. these people will poor so much life into her. and she is scared. up until this point in time she hasnt known true community. she hasnt known true, life giving community. the laughter fills the room and joy is there. tears are shed and the joy remains. prayers are heard. food is eaten. fellowship is enjoyed. life is real and good. and there is hope. there is always hope. she knows this and yet she is afraid. pray for her. this is all new and the next few days, or even weeks will be hard and rough and good. and in the end life is new. she is new...

I was there from Saturday till today, but now I'm back in Bastrop. Still have some things to take care of down here, and there's nothing for me to do yet in Fort Worth. I can't start working yet. But I did move into my apartment. Mostly.
