Here
I'm here. Despite a number of very large near-setbacks that loomed quite large, everything is very very smooth.
** * **
For several years, as a college student in my own home area, I enjoyed a very strong flexibility and power to accomplish. Everything was familiar. Accomplishing something or getting out of a jam was simply a matter involving logistical calculations using the resources available.
Now these resources have been stripped away. I am now much more reliant on those who I know very little, but most of all, upon Christ. He is my savior, my rock, my trust. Whatever occurs, I can be confident that it is not a mistake. I can operate within the flow with joy and calm because His love surrounds me.
And that, my friends, is enough to make anyone feel at home, no matter how far one has traveled.
