resisting

I thought I was okay with going back to school, but the pit in my stomach right now tells me otherwise. I hate seeing my home empty of all my stuff, and the thought of Provo no longer fills me with the excitement of a new school year. Provo seems far away, lonely, and not home. In just a week, I'll be getting back to my apartment from my first day of classes and work, and that's weird to me. Leaving is feeling more and more real, and accordingly, I'm realizing more and more how hard it will be to leave home.

I'm sorry you're feeling this resistance, Em. Leaving home can be hard to do!

That's actually part of why I don't go home for summers anymore. As weird as it sounds, it makes me much more homesick to be with my family for 3 months. This way I still miss them, but I'm used to it.

I totally know the feeling of being in a new apartment with new roommates and feeling very lonely.
Charlotte will be with you so a little peice of home will come too.

Oh dear, I'm sorry you've got a pit in your stomach and aren't excited to come back to school. I hope that changes quickly!

Sometimes The Spirit will take the place of home...you can rely on that comfort.

And, you're only a blogpost away!!

I'll be loving and praying for you.
