and I'm feeling good

Welcome, folks, to Light of a New Day. This blog project was started back in 2010 by Jake and Sydnee. Over the years, several others have left their mark, by contributing articles, their time, and love for Christ. The blog has went through some dry spells, because - let's face it - we all have moments where posting happy thoughts isn't quite possible. For Jake and Syd both, someone shot the bird dead out of the sky. Unfortunately for them, that bird was a phoenix - and baby, it's back. What you can expect are posts. Maybe not regular, and maybe not all of them will be happy. This phoenix is an honest phoenix, life isn't perfect - and people need to stop acting and teaching like it is. This is Light of a New Day. a REAL day. If you have any thoughts or comments, would like to drop us a contribution, or would like to join our team - drop me a line at trun4rth@yahoo.com

God Bless,
Attractive Narrator Voice

Home again?

So... maybe this really has nothing to do with "Heaven's Grace" or this blog or anything at all. Maybe it does. I don't know. But I see no one has posted in a long while, and this is what's on my mind. So... here goes.

This past weekend I spent the weekend in Washington, D.C. at Gallaudet University. It is a Deaf college and it is where I am hoping to get my master's degree. Once I set foot on campus, I thought, "I am home now." It was the first time I'd ever been there. I had a wonderful weekend and cried when I had to leave. And now I am "home" but all I can think about is getting back to Gallaudet. I am really stuck about what to do. Wondering if I should go ahead and transfer or stick it out here one more year. I have been dealing with so much here and I can't wait to get out. It's wearing me down. I'm not ready to face it again. I just want to leave it all behind. I know Gallaudet's not perfect. No place is (Other than Heaven of course). But maybe it's perfect for me. It's "perfectly imperfect" as my friend Jesse Manibusan would say. I really don't know where this post is going honestly. Just what's on my mind... Here's an idea... Let's have our fellow bloggers and followers comment on this post about how to deal with being away from your home. Whether it's your literal home, or a place that feels like home, or wherever your friends are. How do you deal with that? Because I know I have to do that every single day. Once everyone else has posted, I'll post a few things that help me get through it. So..here are a few questions to help you. What/where is home for you? What makes it home? And most importantly, how do you cope with not being there?

P.S. A shoutout to Jakee: I have not forgotten you. Just been busy and bogged down with life. Let's catch up soon. Long math equation you. ;-)
