Well guys… I made it.
I’m home.
Not exactly in one whole piece but close enough! My ankle is starting to heal (thank you for all the prayers).. I have a new high tech cast/walking boot now after my visit to the doctor.
So happy to see my family.
I didn’t expect all the emotions and the fact that it would be so difficult. I didn’t expect things that used to be normal to seem so strange. I didn’t expect to step on carpet and realize I haven’t stepped on carpet in 11 months. I didn’t expect to lay on my bed and start crying because I can’t remember the last time I layed down on a bed (well a bed like mine anyways) I didn’t expect to be at dinner with my family and be an emotional wreck the whole time and not even know why. I didn’t expect to ask silly questions and think they were normal (like when I asked cracker barrel if they took visa or when I asked my mom where the sponge was so I could wash my dish and she looked at me strange and said honey you can put it in the dishwasher.. WHAT?! I forgot about those)
I didn’t expect a lot of things..
I miss my friends more than I would have ever imagined..
I miss community life already..
I miss people understanding..
But I know God has a specific purpose for my life now.. I don’t know exactly what that looks like right now but I know that it will be to bring Him glory whatever it is. I am excited to share my experiences with my family over thanksgiving and mourn the ending of such an amazing season in my life, but to also celebrate the year and celebrate the amazing opportunity God has given me.
Thank you all for all for the continued support.. I hope to keep you continually updated on what I’m doing through my blog.
XOXO
