here i am again.

hey there.
as too often said, it's been awhile.
and yet, here i am again. i was never gone, but i just was not here.

as i sit here, in this comfy leather chair, slippered feet resting on the coffee table, and with soft Christmas music in my ears, i know again that life is good. not that i often question this, but these moments of solitude and reflection are good for my sometimes too busy soul.

it's been an interesting 2+ months. busyness and loneliness and....wondering how it would be ok. but i think i'm finally settling in a bit more to this new environment. making friends, becoming involved, seeking God and finding Him in so much. so much. it's good. i think i'm learning, day after day, what it looks like to be content. content in a way of trusting and knowing God's grace in such tangible ways. and yet, still seeking to know more.

sigh. and there is so much more to know. just when i think i have it figured out, i discover how much i actually don't. it's humbling. i need this. and yet, i find myself wondering when it all will make sense. funny...

anyways. it's time to go for a bike ride. it's too nice outside not to.
peace out, boy and girls scouts...
