Fish out of water

Well it has been officially one week since I left the country that will forever have my heart within its grasps. Now don't get me wrong, it is great to be back and to see my family that I love so much and my friends! It is so exciting sharing with them the incredible things I have experienced and to tell them all of the God stories that I have seen throughout the past two months. I have the best family and friends that a person could ask for, and I can't wait till Samford starts back up so I can see even more of my incredible friends and tell them all that God did in my life and in others lives.
     But something is missing. Something is not the same. Something is wrong. I realized that my heart, more than ever, is broken and is still in Ecuador even though my body is back here in the United States. It's like when a couple is in love: they can't stand to be apart from one another. As weird as that illustration may sound, thats how I feel. When I am serving in Ecuador I experience this incredible joy because I know I am getting a small glimpse of what I am going to do for the rest of my life. But when I come back to the States I feel like a fish out of water. Because, I know this really and truly is not my home. So please pray for my transition process physically, as I find myself getting sick a lot lately, emotionally, as it is hard to be here, and spiritually as I am trying to seek the Lord's face back in the States as well.
   Transition is a hard thing, plain and simple. The Lord has me here for a reason and a purpose, and it is my job to keep loving, keep seeking, and keep following Him. I can not thank you enough for reading along with my blogs for the summer, and I hope that you have read something that speaks to you because the Lord has been speaking so much to me this summer. Thank you for the prayers because they are so appreciated. I love each and every one of you guys and I am so thankful that the Lord has put you in my life.

  1. God is so cool to have let us both experience this so that we can understand each other's heart pains and the weird metaphors that totally sum up how it feels to be living in a place that isn't HOME in the end. I can't wait to talk more about this on our friend date, but until then... God is able. He will never fail. He is working.
