Holy cow, people! I just realized I haven't written anything in almost three months!
bad Camila. [reference to "The Emperor's New Groove"]
So....to make up for all of my neglect, I will write at LEAST every month, especially during my DTS. That's a promise.
So to start my December post, I want to say that I am feeling a lot of mixed emotions about this month. I always love seeing my family, but because two of my sisters are married, it's inevitable that I won't see them and their husbands every time. I am grateful that I am so close with my family, and that I do miss them, but it still is hard not to see them as much. Also, God has been doing big stuff with me, but unfortunately sometimes I put up such tough defenses and He can't get through to me as easily. I need to keep being not only teachable but trusting. Trust has been a big theme in my life recently, as much with people as with God. I'm working on it, but it's a painful process sometimes.
For all of you that are putting your hearts back together , I am right there with you. Let's stay in community and love and be loved. I'm a perpetual runaway, but since someone prayed that I would feel this cord holding me to God when I try to turn away, it's better. I am staying even as it feels impossible to, as God gives me the grace.
I don't understand much of anything, and the more I think I do, the more I get confused. So I have decided to go back to the beginning.
