these past few days....

i've been thinking a lot about my LT family...
there have been a few days in the past week where my heart ached for them so much...
it's so hard for me to remember life before them.
my heart has been split between vt, colorado and bowling green.

i've been dreaming of thanksgiving break...
of giggling with my sister.
of serenading her with the songs that so often get on her nerves.
of drinking tea with my mom.
of being ridiculous with my brother.
of baking bread with my grandma.
of getting annoyed with my grandpa
these are things that make me feel at home.
i am in love with these people.

i've been joyful.
God has filled my heart with so much.
so much laughter.
so much friendship.
so much love.
he nearly overwhelms me...
but He is jealous for me.
and I find comfort in the fact that He doesn't need me, but He so badly wants me.
Thank God.
