I have been back home for 72 hours now and it has been beautiful! 

 

I got to surprise my family while they were eating dinner. 

 

They embraced me with all the love and tears one could imagine. 

 

And we’ve been laughing and loving on each other ever since. 

 

 

Life is definitely different back in America.

 

Some moments are better than others. 

 

I’m not surrounded by constant community who understands feedback, vulnerability, communication and what we just went through this past year. 

 

But I am constantly surrounded by my family who pours out their unconditional love and does everything in their power to understand who I am now and what I’ve been through. 

 

Things move quickly in America, often not allowing time or cutting time short when it’s comes to sitting and listening to the Holy Spirit. 

 

But God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow and His Spirit is just as accessible and available here as it was walking the beach in Bali. It’s just looks different.  

 

Similarity to when I left, America is evolving in technology and new ways to entertain people, so I often feel overstimulated. 

 

But finding my peace in the Lord and His presence is a peace uncontrolled by time or circumstance. 

 

And media is still holding strong to the appeal of making people think they’re not good enough. 

 

But it’s allowed me to stand even taller on the truth of my identity in Christ, knowing I am more than enough. Taking everything He’s said I am this past year and not letting it get skewed or hidden under the lies and schemes of Satan.  

 

 

 

Although there have been some struggles I AM SO HAPPY SO BE HOME! 

 

Home with my family. 

Home with my bed. 

Home with familiar surroundings. 

Home with Chick-Fil-A! 

 

 

Home is not captivity but the promise land!
