The last few weeks have been hard. I haven’t really felt like doing any of the things I like to do. Socializing, reading, listening to podcasts, writing, even going for walks! The only things I’ve forced myself to continue doing were my morning worships and weekly exercise routines. (And for those of you who know me, you know it’s bad when my husband is feeling more social than I am!) Even though I recognized “it”, named “it”, and called “it” out, all I could do was wait for the transition blues to pass. I can’t say I’m in the clear. I can only say that for the time being, I’m feeling better. A few things triggered this month’s dip in my transition curve. For starters, we’ve been in Kentucky now for about three months. Actually three months today! And each month has been different. The first month everything was new and grand.

This past Monday night, I attended a Women’s Communion in our community. I thought I’d be participating in the Lord’s Supper, and discovered instead a wonderful fellowship meal awaiting us, where I was fed up both physically and spiritually. I was especially happy to be there, considering the speaker was my former “teacher/mentor” from the class I no longer could attend after I started working.

After thirty years of ministry, she spoke about all the things she’s learned “since I was perfect.” Perfect, right?!?! There are many things that will stay with me from her short talk. How she’d rather not say she’s been used by God, because she’s been used by a lot of people and that’s not what God is about. How if she’s got everything under control, watch out, because she’ll be controlling you next! How we need to eat up Scripture, but at the same time, fi...
"Do you see what I see?" Ok...so we have seen hippos before, but I really like this picture. This hippo was camera shy. Last time we saw a leopard and this time we saw cheetahs! We caught up with these right as we were about to leave the park. There were three of them, a mother and two cubs, stalking some antelopes. If we hadn't had to high-tail it back to camp, we might of seen our first kill! The tortoise... and the hare. I also saw a crocodile this time, but I wasn't able to get a good picture of him. My point-and-shoot wouldn't zoom that far and I wasn't about to go down to the riverbank for a closeup.
