Feeling lonely

So I’m finally moved. I’ve met so many wonderful people. I’ve been surprised, really, how kind everyone has been (particularly because this is the Northeast, afterall!). But, nevertheless, I find myself feeling down. Once again ministry has placed upon us the decision to uproot and move to a “foreign land.” This is the 7th new town I’ve lived in since my husband and I entered the ministry years ago.

 

Friends

I found out this week that a friend of mine, a fellow minister’s wife, is probably going to be relocating. Her husband is considering a new ministery opportunity. While I know (in my head, at least) this opportunty could very well be God’s desire for their family, I feel like my kids are losing their friends, and I’m losing my only close friend to this thing called “ministry”…again.
