…it’s always a shout (every change, change, change)”
It has been a bittersweet couple of weeks.
For those of you who haven’t heard yet, my dad has been reappointed. We’ve been at the church for 22 years and so its rough. We move at the end of June. We all just feel like someone has died. There is a lot of grieving going on. I don’t feel like writing a whole lot about this at the moment, mainly because most people don’t really understand the impact this has on our family and the community. It’s a big deal. That’s the bitter of this week.
On a sweet note, I got to spend five hours sitting in starbucks with one amazing person talking about everything you could possibly imagine. It is perhaps one of the single most important lessons of the power of love, forgiveness, redemption, and reconciliation that I’ve experienced in my life. (Sarah, I love you!)
Also on a sweet note, I got to spend five days with my favorite people. I played with the baby, played way too many video games with my boys, and had good conversations with my friends. I’ll always be so grateful for their love and support.
Oh, and who could forget lunch with my favorite professor! Jay, I hope your blood pressure has gone down since yesterday. It was great to see you.

I feel like I’m getting better at dealing with what gets thrown at me each day. I want to continue learning to accept the good with the bad, the happy with the sad, the meaningful with the seemingly non meaningful, the extraordinary with the mundane.
