Home sweet home and ready to fly

Got home about 730 this morning. Megan made her flight and we all made it home safely through a mostly rain filled road trip through the night. Thanks Dad!

I can't remember being this exhausted in a long time. Feels like we were gone for 2 weeks instead of 4 days. Did a lot of walking, a lot of sight seeing, a lot of screaming at the games and just a lot of being a tourist in the Big Easy.

Tomorrow is a new day of a new week that is going to bring answered prayers, job offer, new beginnings. I'm confident of that. It's also Jonas' bday. He's going to be 7. Saw a little guy in the French Quarter that made me and Mom both do a double take. He had on an outfit that looked like what Jonas wore most days to school. His hair was spiked in the front like J's. He was drinking out of a cup and looked down into it like J did. It felt like a kick in the gut and it made me cry. But that little boy was probably 4. The J I know and remember. I wonder about this soon to be 7 yr old boy....I pray for him through out the day, everyday.

New Orleans was the first vacation I've taken, aside from my honeymoon, in probably 10 years. It was kind of bittersweet, honestly. I love that I got to spend that time with my parents. With Megan. I just got the feeling on the way home that my life is really about to change. Drastically from the safety of this new nest that's been supplied and created for me over the past few years. We're ready for good news. We're ready for me to get out of this nest. We're ready for me to have a paycheck... :)

I have more to say, I have more inside. But right now I'll just leave it with the lyrics from a song I love. And with the knowledge and confidence that things...they are a changing.

I think of the song, "Ready to Fly"

I've been here grounded far too long
I'm ready to see the open wide
Ready to sing a different song
I've seen my troubles 'long the way
I want to sail towards the sun
I want to turn another page
I'm on my way

I'm ready to fly,
I'm ready to soar
I'm ready to leave this world behind.
I'm ready to open up the door
I'm ready to fly,
I'm ready to spread my wings across the sky
I think it's time
I'm ready to go
I'm ready to fly.

You've told me I could rise above
Like an eagle on the wind
I can glide upon Your love
But I feel the pull of gravity
And it's a weight upon my shoulders
i can't stay here any longer
I've gotta be free

And it's been so long
Since i've seen the bright morning sun
Through the early morning horizon
And it's been so long
Since i've felt the air under my wings
And seen all of these things from above

I'm ready to fly,
I'm ready to soar
I'm ready to leave this world behind.
I'm ready to open up the door
I'm ready to fly,
I'm ready to spread my wings across the sky
I think it's time
I'm ready to go
I'm ready to fly.
