AMERICA | Cleveland
After 11 months away, I am finally home. A rush of emotions feel me as I sit here on my comfy bed, watching tv, after a huge dinner. I feel the pull heavily of my old life, sucking me closer and closer to a life that I had turned my back on for 11 months. Too easily I scarf down various types of food to beyond my fill, and too quickly I fall back on the luxuries of America.
I am trying so desperately to hold on but the suction is so great, too strong. So I cling to my Father, to show me the way even in this American world, to teach me how to be in the world but not of the world. I want to be a light, I dont want to be a part of the darkness.
Lord, continue to change me and shape me even in America!
