A Frequently Asked Question

"When are you coming home?" is the question coming from homeside.
"How long are you staying for?" is the question coming from here.
Really, they are the same question, aren't they?
The answer is the same: a little while.
I'll be home soon, after I stay here for a short time longer.

No worries. I have an intent of explaining things.

End of Summer

They tell me that my heart hurts like this because I loved well.

... I believe them.

Lainie is Still Here.

I am checking in.
Just for a moment.
To let you know that things are good.

Summer has just a few weeks left.
(Three and a half, about.)
I am learning new things.
(Like the science of milkshakes.)
And I am re-learning things.
(Applying "Joshua" to the almost-real world.)
I am meeting new people.
(Lots of them. Lots of neat ones!)
I am eating and sleeping and working and smiling and playing kickball and taking walks and crying and
praising the LORD that HE has been so, so very good to me.
(It took me a longer while to see it.)

All that to say, things are very busy.
And things are very good.
I am glad that I am here.
And I would like to share that with you.

Only a Little Unavailable

Hello, there, you who reads this blog.
(Thank you, by the way.)
I am still here, at Hume.
Summer camp has started.
This is officially "Week #3".
And I have not posted onto this page for quite a while.
In part, because it has not been a priority.
But also due to the limited access of internet.
I will not be posting as frequently as I have been over these last months.
Thank you for being being patient.
I will attempt to continue; as needed and as available.
Thank you for continuing to follow.
