The Room Is Empty

The room at home is now empty. It contains a bed, a dresser, a T.V. stand, a night stand, a small dresser, and a couch. All which do not belong to me. The dinning room at home contains all of my stuff. That stuff will soon be put into the back of my car and will be driven to Portsmouth Ohio. I will soon call that place my home.

Along with this time of transition comes many emotions. Last night was pretty hard for me and it was all becoming too real. I decided to pack up the rest of my stuff, take a shower and go to bed. As I walked into my room there was nothing in it that belonged to me. My cat was lying on the bed asleep, I looked at him and cried. As I layed down in my bed I grabbed Boney and hugged him until I cried myself to sleep. That was the last time that I will sleep in that bed before I move. However with the emotion of sadness comes the emotion of excitement.

I am so excited to have my own place to take care of. Excited for an office, a group of children to teach about God's love, and another church family to serve. This is a major time of change for me and throughout this time God has been preparing me and getting me ready for what is about to change. There have been many times where I haven't felt prepared for what is to come and I wonder if I will ever be prepared.

One thing I know for sure God has been in control of my life and will remain in control.

Today is the day. I will be moving in about 5 more hrs. AHH!!!
