home

after almost 4 and a half years of traveling, i am home... i must say being home is weird... see i am one of those strange people who actually liked being away from home... i felt a sense of freedom not being here... never really missed home (except maybe when i was sick or lonely). but now i have to make peace with the thought that home might be the place where i will die one day... while i was away i learned how to dream, but being back at home is making me realize that most dreams never come true, and that reality is very different and more complex.

i think i am babbling again...maybe because i just woke up... and i hope in a couple of months i can write how exciting it is to be here... i know that God is at work here... and its always exciting to be in the place where God is at work... but right now, i wish i was somewhere else... or maybe i am just missing the friends i had... my time away from home is quickly starting to feel like a distant dream... sometimes it almost feel unreal... and i guess that is the one thing i am struggling with... to realize that, that part of my life is finish... i need to move on...

i am sure many of you can relate to this feelings... i guess no one likes to start all over again.

yes, but starting over makes life interesting... adds those extra little "twists" :) I don't actually think my life is more exciting or interesting than other peoples - it's just a matter of perspective: I refuse to have a boring life - and I think you should do the same.
Actually knowing you (and knowing God) I sincerly doubt you'll have one, even if one day you might wish for a boring life.
It ain't happenin'

believe me...life at home can be as adventurous, as intersiting and exciting as life away!
God is doing amazing steps right in front of your eyes!! Look out for it and join him!!

Hey you...
Alex is right - life at home is exciting too, and God does amazing things. Sometimes they just aren't as "obvious" as they were on the Ship... you have to look a little harder for them!! :-)
Praying that HE shows you one of them today...
