my other family.
like a half an hour a go i blogged about my family. my biological family.
now it's time for my other family...
... my focus family.
spring 09 i met my other family. my alpha family. the 20-some people i lived in sagebrook apartment complex with in colorado... about a third of our ffi spring 09 class.
apt1021 is home for me (when it's filled with ash callie and becks... and anyone else).
i just talked to jim. so good to almost hear his voice (in my head) through fb chat. so good. my soul felt at home while we were talking. i felt like we were in the same room. but we're not.
jim is in chile.
deborah is in malaysia.
whit is in tx, so are callie, rachel, chrissie, and everyone else :)
ash is at auburn
becks is in tn.. and getting married to jake!! what?!? yesss :) who is in nc
scott is in nc too
curtis is in michigan
teri is in minesota.. snowboarding behind 4 wheelers
jessy is in scotland?!? what?!? yes please.
shaunti is still in co (lucky)
elijah is in wv
ned crabs is in ok
who knows where luke is. somewhere around ga i'm guessing :)
we are everywhere. spread all over the country and the earth. i cannot wait until january 15th? when we will have a lil family reunion and party because jake and becky are getting married!! (predicted 2nd/3rd week in... just sayin.... :) )
plus beach house with some people. road trips and many airports to see each other. this 'family' is just incredible. for real. i don't think i can describe how much i love each and every person from focus. and i don't need to, because i feel that love in my heart more real-ly than any other kind of love i've ever felt for any non-related person in my life before. and i care about a lot of people who aren't my family.
my focus family is so different.
confession: i love it that each of us feel like we have a 'focus-shaped' whole in our heart, where our alpha family should fill... i love that i am not alone... i love that we all hurt... because that just shows how much we really love each other... so. much.
holy cow... why do i get to be this blessed? i'm not complaining... i'm just saying... thank you God. this has nothing to do with me.
light up the world with Your love...
like a flood our eyes will see the glory of God
our hearts will see, as You light up the world.
