Today was my amazing mother's 51st birthday. It was one of my resolution's to send birthday cards to my family and friends, but that really hasn't happened yet. Honestly, I hate being away from everyone and not being able to celebrate the little things like birthdays and anniversaries and special occasions. Looking ahead, we really don't even know where we will be for Maddy's first birthday in July.
I've come to realize over the past few months I have a tendency to disengage when I am away from family and friends. Some say, "absence makes the heart grown fonder," but my heart just gets lonely so I tend to stray further away when I feel alone and without my support system. Not that I love anyone less (especially my family and friends), but it's just that I know now I need to make a better effort of calling, writing, and updating ALL of you as I promised I would when we moved here. So here is my new resolution...I will call, write, and update more often not out of duty or obligation, but simply because, "I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to make you strong--that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith," (Romans 1:11-12).
So if you are one of the many out there that I have pulled away from, please forgive me. Let's chat, talk, text, write, or get together soon. However it may be....I long to see you.
