Change is in the Air...

I don't really know what to write. It has been some time since I have updated my blog. Summer is so full of activities and ministries. I don't know where one ends and the next begins. I can't wait till school starts...not for me...for my youth at church. They'll be so busy with homework, I'll finally have some time to breathe. Knowing me I'm sure I'll find something to take up that time.

I do have some wonderful news, I'll be visiting my folks at the end of this month. Everybody with be there. Christmas was the last time I saw everyone. I did talk to my neice Hannah last week. Mom and I tried to teach her to say Aunt Christa. All I could hear was "aaahh Tita". Close enough for me. This weekend my mother mentioned that there were some BSU ministry opportunities in Florida and then asked me if I had thought about moving closer to home. It was hard to answer her without tearing up. Although I love my family so very much, I feel that there is nothing for me there. I wish they would understand. They have been very supportive of me...the family is so spread out I guess they feel they are losing us. That will never happen. I keep trying to prioritize and consider why I am here. I have a great job, which given time will allow me in the near future to save and travel more. I don't know. The thought of possibily moving back to Florida has been on my mind, but everytime I think about it...I dread it. Sigh.

There are huge bugs, wicked reptiles, and killer storms in Florida. We're happy to have you here. In Louisville. Where the hurricane winds don't blow.

You gotta love those "quys". :)

Family is ALWAYS going to want you to move "closer to home." That's just part of it. My parents and grandparents give me that speil EVERY time I see them. You don't have to feel guilty about having a life of your own in a different place.
