I was in a bike accident, but am doing fine. I just deeply bruised my leg and sprained my IT band, but other than a few other scrapes, I am doing just great. My sister who went to north carolina is now back and safe, and my eldest sister has bought a car, and I am about to start working. That's right, yours truly, becoming a full-fledged employee. I will be working at a movie theater in town, and I am super excited about my first day there, which is in a few days. We are trying to find a house, and that hasn't been successful lately, and we have been packing which has been kind of a nail biter if you ask me, since moving to me means that when you pack, you know exactly where you're supposed to go next, and it just seems like we are packing on blind faith that we are going to find a house. So, yeah. talk about stressful. What else? Changes have been happening, so many that's it's hard to keep track. Sometimes you will like me, end up at a crossroads and instead of knowing what direction you're going to take, you stand there, completely bewildered as to where to turn next.
I mean, we can follow a road, certain we know where we're going, but there will always be that pesky little fork in the road. Will you turn to the left? or the right? I feel like I am still dealing with that problem myself. If only we knew all our lives what we were going to be doing. But by the grace of God, we don't so we continue to take this route, and when that doesn't work for us, we turn around and take the other route available to us. And a time will come when we need to make the final decision of where our lives will go: To the right or to the left. I don't exactly know where we're going next as a family, but I know it involves adoption. That's what happens on the road called life: You might know one thing, but the rest is just not easily seen yet. I mean, as far as I know, we probably won't adopt until all the kids have left the house, or we will start adopting as soon as we move into our new house, which I don't exactly know where that is to be yet. My greatest wish right now is to go into the future, and see my twenty or so older self, to see what she's doing, so that I don't have to worry about my situation right now. But we as human beings, as easy as time machine building might be in the books and movies, we just haven't been able to do yet, sadly. As much as we want to see our older selves and breathe a sigh of relief and say "That's what happens," right now, until someone proves otherwise, is just impossible to do. I know that as much as I want to do that, I am just going to have to take the road less traveled, as Robert Frost put it, and I am going to hope that it makes all the difference. And be praying that it's a good difference.
Two Roads diverged in a wood, and I took
the one less traveled,
And that has made all the
Difference.
-Robert Frost
