Emory Bull's Blog
For My Auntie / 03.03.08, 01:13 PM
This blog is dedicated to my wonderful Aunt Sharon, who faithfully supports me.
An update on the past four months…. I’ve been extremely lazy in updating this blog so here’s the run down of all we’ve been experiencing over the past few months. Mostly spirits have been high, we’ve seen a lot of really great things happen. Our relationships have deepened and people don’t think we moved into the neighborhood because we are prostitutes or in need of drugs anymore…at least I think we’ve nipped that belief in the bud. Coming back after Christmas break was extremely hard. Harder than I imagined it would be. The first week everyone was so excited to see us back, the second week, routine was back and with the weather being frigid we didn’t see many people and we stayed pretty holed up in our house. Let me tell you what happens when five women stayed holed up together in a two bedroom one bath house….community. We have had some of our best and worst moments since our return and looking back over the past two months it’s obvious to see how much we’ve grown together. We not only are acting more like sisters than ever before, but we have found ways to encourage each other, ways to talk to each other, ways to reach out even when someone is completely closed off. To proceed these great moments, there were a lot of screams, cutting of eyes, frustrated sighs and moans, and if you are me…sleeping. I found that was the best way to stay away from strife. However, in doing that I also completely isolated myself and felt more lonely that I ever dreamed possible with such tight living quarters. I’m happy to report that together, the five of us have learned how to pray better, be more empathetic, and available to each other. Sounds mushy…I know…this blog is following a release of tension, and a community feeling of rejeuvenation. Winter months were hard, but prosperous. We were all experiencing burn out, but now are getting fired up for all that is coming.
