Hi God,
For good or bad, I'm here. Not sure if by life's choice or demand ... but a change was necessary.
First time living on someone else's dime and time. Grateful for the invitation but it is a bit intense and uncomfortable for me. Never lived with anyone, now as a in-kind boarder. That maybe harsh.
Trying to minimize my "stuff" so not to overcrowd her space.
Went to church today, Barrackville West Virginia, Barrackville United Methodist Church ... it was a bit sad. The entire gathering must be over the age of 60 ... one single young person who looked about 10-12 who was an alter girl ... if there were any more ... I didn't see them. Yet, they weren't sad at all ... very grateful for life and aspire to continue to work for the Lord on behalf of others. Everyone was very welcoming ... shaking my hand ... plenty of smiles ....
Next week, we'll visit another church.
Lord, I haven't heard from Bennett in about a week which is not unusual considering his behavior before leaving for Afghanistan. I pray that You, Lord, keep him safe.
Today, got a little feelings hurt. Bennett and Ree would say I just need to toughen up. Probably shouldn't be. Just an adjustment to make in the future. She left without saying good-bye or where she was going. The same issue that Bennett and I encountered during my visit. Went for the walk in the park that we spoke of earlier. Felt that I had to much going on to go. I don't like people making decisions for me. Felt like a child being grounded.
She commented that perhaps I needed to remain "grounded" because I got a lot done. She was laughing but you know the old saying about there being a little truth in every joke. She may be feeling crowded by my stuff in the garage. Seems a bit passive aggressive. I'm going to continue to get my stuff out of her way. I do want to be a good houseguest while I'm here. Perhaps, we shouldn't do to much together then I wouldn't feel this way. Maybe she feels crowded. Later, she offered the rational that may occur when you are used to living alone, to just get up and leave. That seems about right.
I'll talk with you later. Need to get the living room cleaned up.
Love you always,
Yo
