The problem with having a really good trip is that when you return everyone knows you have been away. They are inclined to ask, "How was your trip?"

This is the portion of the conversation that stumps me. You see people don't want to spend 4 hours listening to how my trip was. My trip was so good in fact, four hours wouldn't really suffice anyways. So I mumble, really good, yeah. Then I divert to whatever I need to. It isn't that difficult, people enjoy talking about themselves. The other problem being, I have a really hard time talking about it because I wish it were still going on. The goodness of that, combined with the frustration of where I am right now makes me a little emotionally overwhelmed.

The trip of course has put me in a place of further understanding. I just, I know more now then I did before I left. I really feel like I see what God has planned, a small piece, and right now it is hard to not grow impatient as I walk out this particular piece. The piece that is states and states away from the Boy because I see the other pieces, if not entirely cleary, enough to desire for them.

Phil's parents, his sister and brother-in-law were awesome. They really made me feel at home. I can hardly describe how amazing it was being there and feeling for the first time in a long time that I really belonged somewhere even being in a place I had never been before. They are just truly a family that walks out; Romans 12:12.
Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. 13Share with God's people who are in need. Practice hospitality.

I will be continuing to pray for where Phil will be when his internship is done. I have one semester left at Oswego. He desires to find a job here in NY or wherever the Lord leads him at the end of the summer. He would of course prefer to be close to me, as I would prefer that myself.

Anyways I had better go get ready for the day.

Peace be with you all
