Today is a busy day of packing and organizing for a month in Austin followed by a month in Lebanon. It still seems so far off, so it is difficult to get moving with these things. Really I'm just in a haze or something right now...
Yesterday was a bit of a downer. I talked to two old friends of mine and as we talked, their misery and emptiness just packed my heart with lead. I was sad to hear how they have settled for such a meager living - one being settled for church nothings and perpetual lack and the other for cynicism and bitterness. It's difficult to know what to say...or think. I just kept thinking, "Life and life abundantly..." and hoped that that means more than a Lexus and a big house- not that I have those things either... At any rate, I'll just wait - there's not another choice for me. Still I know that even in the confusion and uncertainty, my hope and my confidence is in the fact that all of this is at His hand...He has divinely ordered this for me for my good...I can deal with that : )
Last night Julie and I went to Bubba's with my parents, Nathan's parents and Josh who stopped in for dinner on his way from Waco to Overton. It was purdy fun - good to see the Stimsons and Josh, however brief our time was.
I'm still loving being with Julie - things are difficult for us both at the moment, but I'm glad we are together in this.
Til later...this is Memma-Brooke signing off.
