Christmas break was just what I needed in so many ways. I got to see family and hang out with one of my really good friends for three days. Also this year we had a white Christmas....awesome I know!!!! But as good as the break was coming back to Levelland was super hard. If you know me at all you know how much of a people person I am. In Dublin I had family and friends to pass the time but here I do not have either (I have friend just not ones that hang out and go and do things with me.) Last night it was really hard walking back into my empty apartment knowing the people I had just spent two weeks with were a five hour drive away. It was crushing; I think I might have even felt the weight being placed on my heart. I had only been back for maybe ten minutes and I was already home sick. It was different in August, I had this huge adventure set before me and I was out to conquer the world. But now I know what lies ahead of me a lot better than that first day I step foot into my classroom and the excitement has left me with this longing for companionship. Just a friend to talk to, to hang out with, to cheer me up when my students have driven me to an inch of my sanity. I know it will all play out that God has people out there for me I just haven't found any of them yet. But it is God's timing not mine.
On another note, Sunday at church they handed out a schedule for reading the whole Bible in a year. So...........I am going to do it. I have never read through the entire Bible in a year so I am going to take 2010 to do so. Yesterday was my first day and I read Gen. 1-3 today is Deu. 1-2 I read half of it this morning and will read the other half later today. I am excited am will keep you posted on how I am doing and what God is revealing to me through his word. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and New Year's and that the time with family was a blessing. Have a wonderful Monday!
