It’s been 3 weeks
since I landed in the USA
(my wonderful
greeting committee in Oakland!)
and 2 weeks since
I was greeted by lovely friends and family at the airport in Michigan!
I’m
HOME!
One thing that I’m continually learning
though is that HOME is where the Lord is. Home isn’t Malaysia. It isn’t
Romania. Home isn’t Flushing. Nor is it Kalamazoo. Home is eternity. My
identity and home rest in the Lord and as I jumble through re-entry the Lord is
so gracious to show me that again and again.
Readjusting
to the USA and to life in Michigan has been a challenge but family and friends
have been amazing. I’ve had ups and downs, good days and bad days but through
it all I’ve been meet with grace, patience, and support. It will take a bit to
fully re-acclimate but in the mean time and the whole purpose of this blog is
to pass along
A HUGE
A THANK YOU to all
of you who have made the last year of my life possible!!!
A
thank you for your financial support,
for
your prayers, both during the day and
during
the sleepless nights the Lord had you waring on my behalf.
A
thank you for your messages, your encouragement, and
your
incredible
LOVE.
Your love was felt all over the world and
honestly it has been whats overwhelmed me the most upon my return. The love and
support I have been met with by you all has BLOWN me away!!! Last weekend I sat
on a picnic bench and just cried overwhelmed by the love and grace the Lord has
blessed me through all of you. So thank you……
Thank
you for walking through this journey with me.
And
thank you for showing me the love and heart my Father has for me.
Now
a few questions I know you are wondering….
Will
we hear more from you on this blog?
Yes!
I actually have many blogs I wrote while on the field that have yet to be
posted so stay tuned for some old stories and fun!
When
can we hear about the race in person??
I
will be sharing at Lake Center Bible Church in Portage, MI in late July (with
the kiddos and adults) but would also love to meet with you or your family
one-on-one to share and talk more about the year. Shoot me an email thru the
CONTACT tab on the left panel or click here. Let’s set up a
date!!
What
is next for you??
Well…….you
will have to stay tuned…..a blog with details is coming very soon! Until then, may we all remember to seek FIRST His Kingdom (Matthew 6:33).
