Summer's been a bit chaotic. Things didn't go as planned and there were quite a few bumps in the road. I'm thankful for this. Thank you, God, for blessing my family with the love, strength, and endurance to go through with this life-changing decision. I have faith in you, Lord, that things are going to get better. It was so disheartening to come home from school and to finally see how quickly everything had changed. From the epileptic family dog fighting to stay alive, to my loving grandparents who seem to have aged overnight--this is life. Time keeps ticking by and waits for no one--not even those away at university pursuing their dream of one day paying their family back for the loving upbringing they provided. Although, I must admit, I had allowed myself to become so sick with worry over how well my family, especially my grandparents, would adjust to the big move, after seeing them relaxed and at ease in their newly constructed bedroom (courtesy of our kind and loving friends and family, without whom, this move would not have been possible), I know we've done the right thing.
And at last, I am at ease.
