Forefront

I've been trying to figure out what to blog about, and today it came to me -- forefront. I heard this word about 5 times today, and each time all I could think was "Isn't that word a little redundant?" Turns out, it is.
Fore-situated at or toward the front, as compared with something else.
Front- the foremost part or surface of anything.

So I decided today that I don't really like that word. However, it started my mind processes. What has been at the forefront of my mind and life recently.

1. Finances. Neither Tyler or I currently have jobs. We have both been applying and applying and applying but cannot get jobs. We've found some pretty exciting ones, but nothing has worked out. It is stressful, and unnerving having to pay bills and buy groceries knowing that we are overspending our income. I have been spending my time cleaning the house, yesterday I did the blinds. Tyler has been chilling, and going crazy. This being said, we are fine, don't send us money.

2. Friends. They are all elsewhere. This hit me square in the face last night when I took a little trip to Goshen to pick up a textbook. I got to spend some time with high school friends, and then some camp friends. Tyler has been stuck in the house so he hasnt really met anyone, and that is always annoying. For me, I have been at school but haven't spent a lot of time with people and don't have a ton of friends. We know that eventually we will meet some people, but it's always sad to think of the people we left behind.

3. Faith. We both knew that coming to Indiana would mean finding a new church and we were both pretty excited to do that. But I have been hit with the thought that not everyone believes what I believe, and that I need to process what I believe a little more. It's a good process, but a new one.

These are the three biggest things I have been thinking about. It's an interesting phase of our lives, but a good one. We are excited to see what is coming, but very very very impatient.
