I will be back to my usual routine of writing amid my going back to a completely new city (Portage la Prairie), looking for a job, finding a good home parish to be part of (and sing again at) and leaving all my family behind again. Oh yes, and looking for a real home for my husband and I and hopefully staying in one area long enough to make some friends somehow somewhere.
But, as one church lady friend said to me today, "We must not have roots, you know" (as I was somewhat sad to leave my church people behind as has always been "home" for 15 years now) and "Imagine what our lives would be without our faith..." So true because you can't rely on things or people to remain the same or stay around forever; that is undeniable. As I thought of all the memories here and many I have known so long but have only grown closer to since this visit. And family and so many other people that have always been part of my life just as much as family. But, people come and go and my faith is the only thing so far that has remained my solid and true and tested foundation.
There have been so many tough times but that comes to everyone. There have been good times but that comes to everyone too. One scripture says, "the rain falls on the good and the wicked" as no one has a trouble free life; it is how we deal with the troubles....
Oooooh, speaking of rain, it is like the 3rd day and night of the most terrible storms and the power just flickered....gonna shut off real fast now and keep you updated.
