Enoch 42 1-2, "Wisdom could not find a place in which she could dwell; but a place was found for her in the heavens. Then Wisdom went out to dwell with the children of the people, but she found no dwelling place. So Wisdom returned to her place and she settle permanently among the angels."
So today's blog assignment was to find a verse that related to you, or something along those lines. I didn't have a clear idea so I started flipping through the book of Enoch. I stopped at a section called The Abode of Wisdom and Iniquity. I know abode seems home so I thought it had potential. As I read through it I knew it worked and I could connect it to my life right now. Normally I have a hard time keeping my thoughts wound around one topic; my mind kind of works like a chain reaction. I have a hard time pondering or critically thinking. To be honest, I have been so busy here that I haven't totally conquered that style of thought but it has helped a lot. I find that I'm always cheerful and on long bus rides or flights I have time to just look out the window and really think. We are always going a million miles an hour, but the few moments I've had to myself here have been insightful and helpful. So that covers the idea of my 'search for wisdom', now onto the dwelling place. While I've been in this beautiful new city, I have definitely become homesick a few times. I don't take this homesickness negatively though, it just makes me realize how much I truly cherish my family, friends, and home. I miss my momma and each one of my friends. So I can't wait to 'return to my place and settle permanently among my angels', but I don't want to leave just yet!
