If you've known me for longer than 5 minutes you probably know where and who I consider, "home."
Home... like a good friend I look up to shared a couple weeks ago... is where our people are. It's where we find rest. It is also where we get really passionate about things not being how they should be. It is a place where you are intentional. My home just happens to be Woodhill.
Don't get me wrong... I love Lexington as a whole. I love San Diego, Santa Cruz, Harlem, Jackson, Knoxville, Boca, D.C. etc. I have a little image of home in each of those places. But Woodhill has always been where my people are, and where a little girl dreamed of having a home with a basement and a yard where kids and families can just be.
Fast forward to the year 2021... with a lot of prayer, patience, (some impatience too) and a very out of the norm blessing in disguise... that little girls dream of a house in Woodhill, with a basement and backyard has become a reality!
Yes. I bought my first house! It just so happens to be my mentors current house... and they haven't been able to move into their new home yet... so really it seems right on par for how our lives typically go. We dream real big and then we gotta wait for the rest of the world to catch up with us!
But now it's really really close... like I just looked at paint colors and we moved the kitchen table over to their new spot (just down the road). So while we inch closer and closer to this new reality. Please keep on praying over the transition, the countless memories that have and will be made, that neighbors continue to feel more like family than strangers... and that I somehow magically learn how to manage an entire house like a real adult...sheesh.
No, but on a serious note... this is all God. And if you wanna know just how good the Creator is, use this wild ride as an example! This last little bit of life has felt like a never ending pit of darkness... so when I remind myself of the promises the Lord has kept, and that the homie hasn't forgotten me or my people... I am extremely grateful.
So, if you've made it this far on the journey with me, you're awesome. I'll cry forever over this one... but just know when the time comes and its safe for us to have the biggest housewarming party known to humankind. It will absolutely be happening!
In the meantime, if you feel compelled to help me furnish this epic blessing with cute and functional things... you can find my registry's below.
