Home

So, were home...

I really don't know what to do with my life. How do you go from being so engulfed in a community, so submerged in ministry, so overwhelmed with beauty to a summer vacation? I find myself waking up at 5:30 in the morning missing my team. I feel lost with the amount of time I have to do things, and the lack of things to do.

There are moments of loneliness, moments of grieving what was left behind, moments of feeling depressed. But with those come moments of clarity. Moments where I can see what God did, not only in my life but in the lives of my beautiful team. And it is in those moments that I rejoice. It is in those moments when I become so excited for our futures that I cannot help but jump up and down and dance.

And even though I am on a crazy roller coaster of ups and downs, one thing remains consistent: this overwhelming sense of peace and direction with what has and will happen. Although drastically life changing, this past month has been but a stepping stone in what God wants to do with our lives.

The question now stands, are we going to be able to march on and embrace the stepping stones, building blocks and hurdles to come with the freedom of what we earned in South Africa?
