I’ve been
procrastinating this blog because where do I start! So I will start with baby
steps.
I returned to the
United States of America at the beginning of this month. I have spent my first
few weeks in Georgia visiting my friend Martha. She asked me what I wanted to eat as my first meal! I said cookie dough, that was one thing that I had been looking forward
to on my return and of course as a mature adult I made the decision to eat some
for breakfast (poor choice).
When I hopped on
the plane for California I got butterflies in my stomach, that hadn’t happened
to me the whole year of my trip. I have been
spending amazing time with my family and watching Andy Griffith reruns with my
sweet Grandma. I am healthy and happy, praise the Lord
I didn’t return with any little friends in my stomach.
Of course one of
the questions is “Is it overwhelming to be back?”
I didn’t think it would be but one day I sat down
on the couch and my head started to swim in all of it…. yep it’s overwhelming. The other day I was driving in my car (I haven’t driven in a year mind
you). I don’t know about you but all great thoughts come from driving or in the shower for me. But amidst the fog
that my brain seems to be in I felt my feet stand firm in who Jesus is, He is
not a shifting shadow He is my Rock. So even though this
transition is a journey of discovering what is next I trust I will be sending you more amazing updates of how God continues to be faithful.
I can’t say enough thank yous for all your encouragement and prayers. I was able to go out and love
in Jesus’ name. Just as I was able to be there for them you were there for me. LOVE YOU ALL!
P.S. I have had some people make the comment that they don’t want to overwhelm me with emails
and phone calls. That is so considerate of you but…overwhelm me! I can handle
it. I have been missing you all year long and I want to catch up with you. I
had to get a new phone so email me and I will send you my new number.
