community

I said to God in the car tonight, "I'm onto You. I see what you're doing here."

I was talking about my journey with this whole condo business and how it's, well, not moving. Bad-dum-bum. Not moving. Get it? Right.

Patience smatience. This is just becoming funny to me now.

I had this realization a few days ago that for some reason, or lots of reasons, it's not time for me to live separately just yet. For some reason God has me still living in community.

It's interesting because at the same time that I'm endeavoring to live alone, my friendship with a dear room mate has become so wonderful. We've gone on some great walks recently and have reconnected after both being very busy and having mismatched schedules. Like tonight, we walked and got cake and went to a playground to swing. It was wonderful! Would we have done this if I was already moved? Maybe, but we'd be much less likely to because one of us would have to drive somewhere, and it takes a lot more coordinating.

But these great conversations, memories, quality time, are possible because I'm still living in community.

It's just not time for me to live on my own yet.

And for whatever all the reasons are, I'm appreciating the fact that God's letting me in on that little realization that He really truly is working on something in me here.
