It's been a long haul. I have now officially been in California for 7 months and 1 week. I can't believe that I only have 4 months left, but at the same time I am so thankful.
I don't know if I am just dealing with lack of sleep, home sickness, stress of two new girls in my dorm or bottled up emotions but I feel like I am wearing thin. I seem to be tired all the time and I sadly don't get as much joy with being around my girls 24/7 as I used to. I am really longing for my friendships and deep conversations. Those aren't easy to have with high school students.
Tonight was a good night. I had "adult time" and play Settlers with friends, all above the age of 20! Then we had some awesome talks about religion and God. It was something that I needed. I just sat there and soaked it all in. I can't wait to have these conversations on a regular basis again. With the lack of time I get off I feel like I rarely get these opportunities with people. Some days you just need to sit down and have a deep conversation.
I don't like hitting slumps. I feel like it is a time of lack of gratefulness to God for all He has done in my life. I feel like it is falling short of everything that God has planned for me. I know this is just a slump and it will soon be over, and I am thankful for that!
God grant me patience, understanding, words of wisdom, and most importantly love unconditional.
