Yesterday was our last Sabbath in Florida for a few months. I'll just stop right there before your screen gets all soaked in my tears. It's been a restful and joyful month-long vacation in paradise. I don't have many words today. I'm living in the tension of the bittersweetness between going home and leaving home. I wish there was a way to make everyone I love meet in one place and stay there. There are upsides and downsides to building community, family, and fellowship in different states. The upside is you have a lot of people to love and count as friends. The downside is you miss them when you're not with them. Tis' the reality of the world we live in. They're mostly upsides though, so I'll keep a smile on my face and carry on to a new semester, rife with challenges and long sleepless nights. But all the more I am confident the Lord will not leave our side. We are not alone. He is near.
Have a blessed Sunday!

We got to spend our last Sabbath at Miami Temple SDA Church in good company with our family friends. From left to right: father-in-law, hubby, me, brother, dad, mom, Kris, Amarilys, Ralph. We love you all!
