Emotions

Today, I am feeling a little emotional. There are an array of feelings, thoughts, desires, and decisions that are traveling through my head at amazing rates of speed. It is hard to even pin down exactly what I am feeling because of the vastness of what is going through my head. I am feeling a little lonely wishing for that time and place to have someone to sit and talk to, to share frustrations, joys and life with. I am feeling excited for the up coming season with trips and students, training and planning. I am burdened with the thought of taking a semester off of school to save money and keep myself out of more debt. I am hopeful for the future and the joy that seems to hold on even when it doesn't make sense. And this is where I sit this morning. Excited for the next few days with other staff, hoping for some time of reflection, rest and refreshment; stressed over the next week and getting ready for the banquet; hopeful that conversations will lead to relationships; frustrated in people not making sense and thankful that I am able to feel, hope, think, cry and love. Thank you Lord for feelings and emotions. Thank you for the life you have provided and continue to provide. Thank you for the opportunities you have placed in my life and the people I have been blessed with knowing. Thank you.
