Patterns

I am buried deep within the quest to organize my life...

Despite having lived in Cheyenne for two months now, I am not unpacked. I promised myself I would unpack with purpose - with a critical eye to examine what I have, why, and what I can pass on. Slow slow slow this process has been!

Among my slow unpacking, I came across an old journal. While reading through some of the passages (from only a year-ish ago) I saw two startling things:

1. I am not a very regular journal writer (or blogger as you can see!).
2. Much has changed in just a year or so

Inconsistent though I may be - I will not give up!

As far as change, I find it both encouraging and discouraging all at once. While, of course, there are many things that should and must change, it is difficult to see those things that have, but I never wished to. There are countless examples of prayers answered: marriages, families growing, jobs secured...but at the same time, a year ago there were friendships in my life that I could never imagine being any different. In such a short time I feel I hardly know how these friends are doing anymore.

Fortunately, a lot can change in a year....
