There is nothing quite like moving back in with your parents after 15 years on your own! I have to admit it has taken a bit of adjustment. Sometimes it is the little things, like traveling in the back seat of the car as they drive or having my mom being in charge of the kitchen again. Others are taking a bit more effort, like adjusting from Calista back to Callie and losing some of my independence.
When it was only going to be a few months it didn’t feel like it would be a big deal. Then when I found out it was going to be closer to nine months, it was a bit overwhelming. The more I have thought about it though, the more it has made sense. Financially it is a blessing since I am no longer working. It is also one of the many transitions I will have to go through in the coming months. Somehow I think having to make this transition first will ease those to come.
It also providing me with the opportunity to spend time with one of my sending and supporting churches - First Baptist in Hood River. The chance to spend time amongst this community is a blessing!
It also reminds me that the awkwardness of this transition and the ones to come just represent a desire for home that this world will never fulfill. Heaven is my home!
