So I think that sometimes when you leave a place for short term you are able to leave behind things that you’ve been thinking about and wrestling with temporarily. But when you return everything somehow rushes back in at an alarming pace. That’s a bit bitter-sweet from my perspective. I am experiencing this right now. Going to America somehow allowed me to drop a couple of the things that have been occupying my mind but upon returning I was bombarded with them once again. While I was in America I was aware of the lack of all these thoughts and would occasionally think to myself that I should sit down and thrash some of them through with God. I know that when you go on Holiday you don’t take a holiday from God but I think it was a bit of grace from him. Allowing me to free my mind to enjoy my friends and family and take a break form the very difficult past 6 months.

So now as I sit here I think. All the thoughts are swirling like an angry tornado and I can see it coming. I can sense the tension, apprehension and fear but I know once it passes and everything settles I’ll be able to clean it up and put all the pieces where they belong. So this entry isn’t a depressing one it’s a light at the end of the tunnel. This time I can actually see the blue sky in the distance behind the tornado. So come on tornado, I’m ready.

(Plus…my house mates are AMAZING!! I love them so much and missed them so much! Ahhh…friends.)
