I decided to go home to my parents house for the last two weeks of summer. I needed some refreshment and some perspective. I couldn't seem to shake my depression in Lburg and I needed to pry myself out of my funk and hopefully hear God a little clearer. I was a little nervous about going home for so long because I haven't kept in contact with a lot of people so I spend much of my visit sitting around my parents house. But I knew I needed my family and so I packed my bags and drove the 6.75 hours home. I love that drive because it gives one a large chunk of time to talk to God and clear your head. Needless to say it was the perfect start to my period of refreshment. Since day one of being home I have felt myself being renewed. I may not have a lot of friends in the Poconos, but luckily I come from a big family so there is always something to do. For example, today I got to sit in the middle of a big grass field and watch my little brother's soccer practice. He was adorable in his bright orange jersey that came past his knees, and I never felt so proud of him. I sat there journaling, reading and watching and I didn't feel an ounce of depression. It melted away, and all that remained was me... optimistic, happy Sarah. I've missed her, and slowly but surely I can feel her coming back and I'm loving every minute of it.
"See I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up, do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland." -Isaiah 43:19
