Hey everyone,
It’s #honestyhour…with each day that passes I become more & more aware that I’m really leaving for 9 whole months. I’m really doing this thing, it’s no joke, it’s real. Little things have been catching my attention lately, things that normally wouldn’t. I’m in this bittersweet transition period, so all things homey are really on my heart. Tonight was a night like any other…I came home from work, ate dinner on the deck, and listened to the wind in the leaves. But something was different. I listened intently & really just took it all in. My home. Hudson, Wisconsin. As I was leaving tonight to go to a friend’s house for a bonfire, I was so mesmerized by the cotton candy sky that I actually pulled over to capture the moment in a photo. Lately I feel like I need photos of everything so that some time soon as I’m sitting in a random airport, I can remember the moment that it was captured. The rest of my night I just sat in the presence of people I’ve grown up with, people who know my story, people that I’ve done life with for years. I’m just trying to wrap my brain around the fact that our paths of life are different now. I just can’t seem to figure out how we got here. I guess what I’m trying to say is that home is good…maybe even more so than I thought before. & that leaving it is going to be hard (it already is hard & I haven’t even left yet!) but I know & am so aware that going where Jesus has lead me to is SO worthy of this uncomfy feeling of leaving this place/friends/things I love.
All the love,
Nikki
