Turning bummed feelings into a positive outlook.
Long and short of it is, coming home has been hard. I’ve been very welcomed by friends and family, but this does not negate the fact that I’m having a hard time figuring out where I “fit.” My jobs keep me very busy, but unfortunately these jobs don’t provide me with replacement friendships for what I’m missing. And it’s certainly not any of my friends’ fault- it just so happens that over the past two years, while I was gone, people settled into new routines, and have new things that are priorities in their lives. The same thing happened to me— but like I said it’s just tough because these new routines and priorities in MY life aren’t presenting me with social opportunities.
This makes me think of the wonderful sermon we had in church last week about pottery. How when clay on the potter’s wheel is off center, you just have to apply pressure from different sides and you’ll get it centered again. I feel like this is one of those times in my life. I’m “out of whack” as it were, and I just need to let these pressures that I’m feeling get me back in the middle of the wheel. And it’s time to remind myself to trust in God, and that He does have a plan for me, and I’ll see it eventually.
About me
Slices of life.
