culture shock in reverse.
So America..... (Sighs)
Its definitely weird coming home from a mission trip. Something that has been so looked forward to for the last two years, is no over. So finale it seems, but no really because once you've become part of a family you can't just turn and leave someone. They become almost a part of you. A team or unit. I really do miss all of my classmates because no one else can really understand what you have been though expect the ones you were around every day. The ones that walked with your through trials of contentment and into dances of joy. I am trying really hard to be able to communicate this to my friends, but it all seems to be bottled up in my heart. We talked at the missions night tonight and I found it difficult to sum of my main ideas from that last six months, but found it difficult. I have been enjoying the one-on-one in depth conversations.
(combined thought...written 6.26.07) on I am so thankful that God has shown me during this time how to be a friend and receive fellowship from other girls. I am really expectant when I go home that God will provide me good friendship where I am able to talk about these experiences I have had over the last six months.
8.1... It is true what Johannah said about God placing you with new people that you didn't expect when you come home. People that really need the encouragement of your stories. I am thankful for the new friends He has places in my life and continue to hope for more broken and hurting people that I can pour into.
I really do hope that we are able to go on another mission trip, but I am continuing to realize again with the 'same' sort of passion that God has placed me in Myrtle Beach for a reason. I do hope he will reveal it to me, before I become bored and bitter with the mundane aspects of life. Jesus I do need a fresh wind on your Spirit in me. Help me father to make it though. Give me joy! I love going back and reading though my notes and it has give me a lot of strength is week.
Just checking? Does anyone even read this anymore now that we are home? Please let me know if you would just rather get personal emails instead :)
Please pray for or family! Avery's patience in waiting to peruse his passions and giftings. My skin (horrible eczema problems at the moment). My new job at Starbucks. New friendships. Future schooling options and/or on-line classes. God to feed our spirits with truth.
