Life is a Highway......

I have seen the highway much more then I prefer over the last eight weeks. In those eight weeks I have visited six different states--Delaware, Pennsylvania, Alaska, Washington, North Carolina, and Georgia, and have driven through countless other states. I thank the Lord for allowing me not to get lost, and for allowing my car to make it to each destination. I tend to worry about getting lost quite a bit as I'm not good with directions and maps (on my list of qualifications for a husband!) and my car is to the point of wanting to die at any moment.

Despite my directionally challenged, car encouraging (think, The Little Engine that Could) driving, it was a wonderful time of catching up with family and old friends. I was able to spend time with people I haven't seen in two, sometimes four years. I was able to meet my beautiful nephew, spend time with spouses and children of friends who I haven't met or known very well before, hang out with friends and family reminiscing about times past and catching up on their lives, worship in my own language, and just see what God has been doing in the last couple years! It's been wonderful and I thank the Lord for allowing me these weeks to play before having to settle down with school.
