Alone
It's been 14 months since we arrived in Texas with a 27 foot U-haul filled with most of our worldly possessions (U-haul #2 arrived later), a car with our earthly valuables, and our beloved family dogs; Jake & Ozzie. It was one of the hardest things I've ever done; purge and pack our 30 year home filled to the brim with memories of our life in Maryland. The home we moved into on our daughter's second birthday, the home where our son was born, the home where our marriage became solid like gold after it went through the Refiners fire, the home where I became a shepherd and care giver of a flock and given insight into God's heart.
After we arrived and unloaded our memories, everyone left and I was alone. I was alone in our piney woods filled with sounds of coyotes, wild hogs and bobcats, venomous & non-venmous snakes, scorpions and centipedes...and I think just about every insect God ever created. I was alone with the only people I knew, being 1 mile down the road and whom I'd practically just met. I was alone to unpack 35 years of a life together.
Alone. All alone. BUT.....
