Leaving home but going home...

Well many things have happened this summer. I have had an awesome job working as a swim instructor and I have finished my incomplete classes. I have also been planning a wedding! But tomorrow is my last day teaching lessons and Saturday morning I am headed home. As I was packing up my things this past week I kept thinking how odd it feels to be leaving California and to head home. I think its more official now that yes I have graduated. I am not going back to school where I lived for the past 5 and a half years. Nope instead I'm leaving this home and going home.
I think it is odd that now that I am really leaving I feel like I am leaving home. Being here in CA has taught me a lot and has helped me to grow as a person. God has shown me many blessings and has pointed me in the path He wants me to go! I grew in so many ways that I feel like this place and the people I have meet here are my family and home. I know that even during my years in school people came and went and I was able to create new family each year. This makes me to believe where ever I go in this life I will find a new home and a new family. I know there are those who will always be family and they may be around the world but where ever we are we find other Christian friends who become family. I know this will happen soon in November, Wally and I will become family. But I know that even we will move and be placed in different places where we learn to make friends and in turn become family. I am excited to experience this but also sad to leave one of my homes. I know there are other people out there who understand what I am saying.
I will say lately I have also been very excited to see what God has in store for Wally and I. I know that right now we have a lot of questions about where we might go or be and what jobs we would have but I am excited not knowing at the moment. I know that one of these days I will want to know but I will take this calm and peace as it is and enjoy it while I can. I like knowing my life is in God's hands.
Well I must go, I have a full day ahead of me! Until next time!
