So what does one do once their dreams are all used up?
Write about them.... :)
New York City was my dream place to live. Now that I've lived there I have an even deeper love for the place and my eyes light up every time I see something that has even the smallest thing to do with it. Like take for instance the fact that I had to point out to my parents the lovely buggy I saw a little old lady pushing in IA City that everyone seems to have in NYC, or the book I saw on NYC today at American Eagle that I almost bought just because it had to do with NYC, or the fact that I was SUPER stoked about a Falafel House is in the Coralridge mall. Yes, all these things made my smile hugely! I know I have only been home a little over a week, but something that dear to my heart doesn't leave me to quickly. BUT at the same time I know that I was supposed to come home again. It came in a way that I wasn't really expecting with the death of my Grandpa, but yet it all worked out very well. There were a lot of things I was planning on doing the last 2 weeks I was there that didn't get done but at the same time it was obviously meant to be. But now I feel like I am in a transition stage once again. Maybe if I stayed in one place for more than 6 months I wouldn't have to do this so much. :) But where's the fun in that?
Anyway, I just want to thank all of you who have been keeping up with this blog (the few posts that I've done!) and for praying for me while I've been in NYC. It means more to me than you will ever know! I'm going to leave you with a few verses that are some of my favorites and ones that I need to be reminding myself of right now. :)
"For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me." Jeremiah 29:11 & 13
-that's all folks!
