A Whirlwind of Jet-lag

Oct 27

What I learned this past week in America...

If you follow me on social media then you know that I was in America last week. It was a whirlwind. I was in 3 states, did 4 photo shoots and 1 wedding mixed in with lunches and dinners with friends and errand running and wedding festivities. I am not sure I slept more than 4 hours each day and I was fighting a cold the whole time. It was crazy. I was crazy.

It was worth it though for so many reasons but one thing was evident. As I told stories of what the Lord is doing in my life and around me in Thailand it was obvious that this is where I belong. Thailand is my home now, its where the Lord wants me. I prayed that this is what I would experience and the Lord is so good. I was worried that going back would make me miss home, but it actually made me miss Thailand.

I saw first hand that living in two places is impossible. Eventually one of them becomes home as the other one begins to feel less and less like home. You can hold on to relationships but no matter how hard you hold on to them they change...because they have to. This week I saw that even though community changes and our lives go on happening in two different places, I know that I can always count on my people back home to have my back and be praying for me and I know that they will be there whenever I am back and that we will be able to pick right where we left off.

I am so thankful to have something so hard to let go of, but I also am thankful that I already have community here worth fighting for.

Jet-lag is no joke and now I'm sleepy and have a lot of photos to edit, but my heart is so, so full!

It's good to be back. This is where I belong.
