So it was supposed to be the first day of school. And part of me feels like I should be getting ready for the first lunch of the year and praying with my students. Or assigning kickball teams for the week.
Instead, I'm at the school checking my e-mail on a computer (my internet doesn't get hooked up til tomorrow) and thinking about work at 3 PM. Selling and working at Office Max.
The ups and downs of the news all summer in regards to school and then I hear the words I'd been half dreading from Pastor Craig "There's no school this year Sister Naomi" I reeled between disbelief and some relief that I wouldn't be living such a crazy pace this year. But I was prepared and now that the decision is made, I am peaceful.
And the journey that started four years ago on the missions trip takes another crazy turn.
Idaho Falls has become my home. It's been two years now since I moved here and I can't imagine my life anywhere else. I have a church that I love, friends at work, a job that I mostly enjoy. What more can a woman want in life?
So I stay in the home that I have chosen. With the family and friends that I have here.
Because I'm blessed beyond measure in so many ways.
