A year in the life

Holy cow, has it really been a year since I last posted? Man, I'm a slacker.

Amazing what a difference a year makes. I have a new job, I am in the midst of adopting internationally, I am finally almost moved in to the new home, I am still in school, and I am making (yet another) attempt to stop hiding from God's plan for my life.

And I can't explain why, but I keep coming back here because I sense that this is, somehow, part of that plan.

I assume that nobody is reading this, and it is possible (likely?) that nobody ever will, but I'm going to start writing again nonetheless. If nothing else, it will give me a chance to release some of what is pent up inside that I can't share eloquently in conversation. Getting a chance to sit quietly, compose my thoughts, and write them out, plus taking the time to read and edit before posting, will be much more productive than subjecting people to the raw, untamed maelstrom between my ears.

Anyways, to all of my devoted followers who have been checking weekly since I went away (you know who you are), I'm back. Maybe I'll even stick around this time.
