You know you've lived...

...in many places when you're trying to address an envelope:

401 Tangle- ...no, that's not it...
7400 August- ...no...
23227 Double- ohf.
1831 Bayview ....nope, not that either.

...or accidentally write down the wrong zip code. {Yay for extra envelopes!}

...or when you forget what time zone you're living in. For example...planning a phone date with a friend and say, "I'll be available anytime after 10 am central time," and your friend says, "Um. I'm in the central time zone, too, silly!"

...or when you pull open what you thought was the silverware drawer. Nope. The silverware drawer was next to the dishwasher in the other house. 


Seminary life involves many transitions. One of the transitions is constantly moving and living somewhere new. It can be tough living in a constant state of "temporaryness" (but it can be fun too! You get to decorate and organize multiple different homes! ;-)). I recently had a great conversation about with this with a couple great friends:

-Keeping in touch with friends and family can be encouraging, refreshing, and scare off loneliness (remember that phone date story I mentioned?).

-Making your current house/apartment/whatever feel like home is important - make it cozy, make it comfy,  make it  yours.

-Stay grounded in the Lord. There are so many changes but the Lord's promises, faithfulness and providence is always there for us! Hebrews 13:8 "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever."

  1. The silverware drawer issue could also be from being a nanny. :)
