I’m officially back in VA. It took me 2 weeks and some days to really settle in again. My trip to the Philippines was surreal. Everything happened so fast (although at that time, I really think it was very slow). I have to get use to the idea that dad is not with us anymore. I have to constantly remind myself not to include him in my daily devotions. There are times when I just think about him and feel a little sad…

          It’s been a long time since I last blogged… I just turned 27 and also 7 years with the Lord. Both are major turning points in my life. (oh yeah, I now have a car here! – a gift to myself for both occasions.)

          I was just reading my past blogs and it made me look back at those times when dad was still with us and how God carried us through. God is faithful. And although I won’t be able to celebrate Christmases and other special occasions with dad, I still believe he is in a better place. He is with the Lord!  Only a few of us can say that… I am thankful that God used dad’s sickness to humble him and through that, accept Jesus in his life…

         I am re-starting my life here in Virginia Beach and I’ll be moving out soon and will finally have my “own” place. I am so excited! Help me pray also for church. I am currently attending a COG church here, yet I don’t feel like I’m growing as much as I would like. I know, I know, it’s not about the church… But it still plays a major part. I’ve been trying to talk with the Lord about changing church but it just doesn’t feel right to leave the church where I am now…

It’s the start of a new season and a new year for me!

It’ll be an adventure! Wait and see J
