The Home Button

I was so happy that I got to go home last weekend! Four days goes by SO fast! Here are some pictures!!

We had such a good time together :) It was so nice to be a part of a family again... it has been a long time. The only thing about going home is that it makes Orlando not so homey anymore. My house seems more devoid of life, my everyday routine seems more mundane. I don't want it to be like this, but for some reason it is. 

I have worked really hard over the last two months to finally get in the groove of living in Orlando, and in four days I undid all the hard work. I feel like I am back where I started. Not completely back but at least a couple paces behind where I was when I left. So why is this post called the home button? Glad you asked :) 

My phone has been freezing sometimes when I go on the internet. (I don't have internet at my house so I go on my phone most of the time if I need to look something up) If a page takes more than 10 seconds to load, I get extremely impatient and press the back button, this is what causes the freezing to happen. 

Then after slamming the back arrow 3-10 times and it still doesn't do anything, I hit the home button.

Immediately the home screen pops up and I am able to try again or I just put my phone down. It is so easy for me to give up on something so simple like a phone. While I have been in Orlando I have had choices to make, times when I had to decided to keep going. Right now is another one of those times. I can't just give up when it doesn't come as easy to work & live here as it did before. I have to stick with it, knowing that God will pull me through. It would be so easy right now to just give up and press the home button (call my parents or just drive home) and give up. But I can't. I won't! Because God has a greater calling on my life then I have for myself. His plans are better for me than the plans I could think of for myself. I need to stick with it. I need to hold on, because someday really soon, I am going to start making roots here in Orlando and this is going to be home to me. 

If you think about me today, will you pray for me? Pray that I wouldn't give up. Pray that I would stick this out. It is harder than it looks. Prayers today would be a huge blessing :)
