NO OUTLET

I am currently living with my pregnant wife and son in my Mother’s basement. We still own a home in Waldorf, which is approximately 17 miles from where we are now. We moved in because we had to pay off some bills, which was causing us to sink deeper in debt. Our home is Waldorf is being rented for two years by a couple and their 2 kids. We really didn’t want to move down to Waldorf at the time, but in 2005 homes in our old neighborhood were just too expensive. We also felt disconnected from our friends and family and we didn’t build new roots in Waldorf. We attended a Church in Waldorf called Crosspoint which was a church plant that eventually closed just as we started to build friendships. It wasn’t the same. Our old church we lead the Singles Ministry, which was a blessing and I loved it, but we moved further away from the church. These are just some of the regrets I am feeling and just how I feel left out. It doesn’t mean that I am depressed or that I am losing faith. Have you ever wondered down a street and didn’t pay any attention to the yellow sign that says “NO OUTLET” and you have to turn around to get back on the road that leads to new destinations new scenery and the right course of action. That is were I am at this moment. How you ever felt like that?
