Did everything just taste purple?

So much has happened and changed in the past 3 months. I am where I wanted to be for so long. In that I mean physically and spiritually. I like being back in Jay. It's kind of strange b/c it's such a small town, but it's home. That's how I felt at OBU when I was there and about OU when I first began there. Now, you couldn't pay me to set foot on OU. Anyway...I'm enjoying being with my family. Things aren't perfect, they never are, but they are good.

Spirituality is a different matter. For a long time I was just miserable b/c I wasn't following God the way I know I should have been. My last few months in Norman were absolutely horrible for me. Don't get me wrong, I had my friends there and I love them dearly, but I didn't really have any spiritual support that I really needed and desired. This was a huge factor in my decision to come back home. I really wanted to have the relationship with God that I had so many years ago. Yes, I know you can't go back to a certain time, but you can rebuild. It's taken me a few months to get to a place where I feel close to God. That's b/c, as we all know, I'm pretty stubborn. Holding on to things in the past had kept me from giving my all. Of course, it's a daily struggle, as all of you who are Christians know. But now I'm seeking God and His wisdom in everything. And God is teaching me and has given me a place where I am welcome and supported. Even at work I am surrounded by Christians. Something I haven't experienced in a while...except for St. Stephens' which was only 1 day per week. I know this is where I am supposed to be. It's good.

Now I struggle with an ending...so I'll just say thank you to Kym, Lindz, & Manda for keeping me in your prayers, even when I didn't want to be there. You gals are awesome! But for now, I need to get back to being a bit 'Matt Damonish', so...'til next time!
