settling

Usually, we think of settling as a bad thing...settling for less than you wanted or deserved...settling for something you didn't want or expect...yet it also has a whole other side. Its funny the difference a preposition can make. Settling for versus settling in. I have very comforting images in my head of grains of sand all settling in to place and I feel like we are finally getting there. Settling into our life here...our new routine (complete with my Bible study :) - although I'm not really doing it the way I'm supposed to, and settling into our new home. I'm starting to say the word home and actually mean here rather than back in the desert. It hasn't been easy of necessarily natural, but it's happening slowly but surely!
