I never realized how much I depended on others for my spiritual growth. Before I had 684, youth, Sunday morning worship, Sunday school, Sunday night bible study. I spend over half of my time with other believers. I am not saying that is bad to worship together and have fellowship, but I am learning the hard way the necessity of individual worship and study. If I don't study on my own now then the only thing i get is what i get on Sunday morning. If I don't worship on my own now, i don't at all. I think it is good for me to have been pushed out of my comfortable zone because I am learning and growing.
I do miss being with other believers as much as I was before. I miss my kids. I miss bible study. But I have been learning a lot in my quiet times. I have been studying the genealogy of Jesus which is pretty cool because he has some interesting people in his. I have also been digging into the gospels. I have read them so much that I feel bored with them. But they are not boring and I will read them until they set a fire in me again. Just a little bit of my life lately. It has been awhile.

Color Me Anticipated.
I set sail(van) tomorrow for Savannah and the vast unknown. I am excited to be given a chance to serve my brother and sad to be leaving so many loved ones here. The last couple weeks have been filled with adventures, wonderful memories, deepening friendships and blessings. I am full to overflowing with love. I am looking forward to this next season in my life.
