A Flood Of Emotions

Too late Honey I found a house! Just kidding. Sorta.

How I love it here. It's like slipping into an old pair of blue jeans. Just right. Perfect fit. So me.

I have loved every single second of being here. I love every single thing about it. If I could have any material possession dropped into my lap it would be a house/job right here in FSM.

Green is better than white.

Confession: I've cried so much thinking about having to go back home. This is home. I will always be a southern girl.

But time to suck it up, right? Great things are happening in CO. I especially love our church and the new friends we're growing closer to. I know it's where the Lord wants us to be. And if we were to move back I'd feel rebellious. I wish I had more friends though. Those friends that can just dive into deep conversations without the weather talk first.

White is pretty too. New jeans become comfy after awhile. I hope.

Sara Groves - "Painting Pictures of Egypt"

I don’t want to leave here
I don’t want to stay
It feels like pinching to me either way
The places I long for the most
Are the places where I’ve been
They are calling after me like a long lost friend

It’s not about losing faith
It’s not about trust
It’s all about comfortable
When you move so much
The place I was wasn’t perfect
But I had found a way to live
It wasn’t milk or honey
But then neither is this

CHORUS:
I’ve been painting pictures of Egypt
Leaving out what it lacked
The future seems so hard
And I want to go back
But the places that used to fit me
Cannot hold the things I"ve learned
And those roads closed off to me
While my back was turned

The past is so tangible
I know it by heart
Familiar things are never easy to discard
I was dying for some freedom
But now I hesitate to go
Caught between the promise
And the things I know

BRIDGE:
If it comes too quick
I may not recognize it
Is that the reason behind all this time and sand?
If it comes too quick
I may not appreciate it
Is that the reason behind all this time and sand?
