Quiet morning

So it’s Saturday morning. Quiet, calm and good space to reflect. One of the truly marvelous things about this place. I’m at the point where I’m trying to figure out where I’m at internally... which is a process. I need to let the distractions and voices in my head calm so that I can focus on what God might be trying to speak during this time, which sometimes feels like a battle. Why am I here? What does God want to accomplish in me over the next few months? Of course my brain wants answers to these questions well before the time it will take to actually get there. The place I’m at is good... the dust within is beginning to settle and my soul is quieting. So I guess that’s all I can ask for at this point. A blank page emerging in order for God to write into me.

Last night was great. We had a barbecue outside with great food and conversation, and then discovered that there is a well on the property beneath a blackberry bramble. We all got involved in uncovering it, to discover that it is quite functional with a great deal of decent water at the bottom. So the plan is to get a pump attached so that garden and yard irrigation can come from that in order to cut back on the water bill. A rather cool moment if I do say so.
I chatted with Natalie for awhile last night, and I must say that I do miss her. It’s amazing to me how valuable it is to have someone near that knows me and my story as well as she does. People at Bless will begin to know me and my story, but that does take a decent amount of time, so right now I feel a little alone in certain ways. I really like it when people know and understand me. So that’s probably what I need to focus on in the next week or so. Well, my battery is yet again in the red, so I will finish here, but will try to write more soon.
