It's a Different Life

Tennessee is different life. Lonely, but exciting all at the same time. I am enjoying exploring my new surroundings, but terrified that I won't connect with anyone. We found an amazing church, it is everything we were looking for, but there is still no job prospects, and we are going to run out of money very quickly. This experience is teaching me to rely on God fully, which I always have a really hard time doing.

I miss having my own space, to have privacy. I miss simple things like doing what I want when I want to. I miss using my own stuff. I miss using the bathroom when I want to, taking a bath, LONG HOT showers. I miss cooking what I want when I want.

I love always having someone to talk to. I love sharing cooking responsibilities. I love sharing household duties. I love spending time with family. I love that I have help.

It is very hard to live with others, and I knew that going into this, but it's harder now than it was last time, because I am used to living on my own.
