So now that I'm back in your worlds, or at least the same hemisphere as most of the people who I'd imagine read this blog, i've been thinking about the implications of my trip (I guess), and some things were kinda occurring to me.
I am so thankful for all the stuff i can see right now that God has used to make me who i am. The main thing i've been thinking about is not being tied down to this world much and being completely open and availiable to whatever great adventures God brings my way.
I'm very thankful for the way God had me grow up, as the daughter of parents who knew how to be dependent on our great God for their every need. I'm very thankful that our family has never owned a home, i'm not tied to a house in the same way that i know many people are. I know that a house is just a building, home is the place where God puts me, and where He gives me people to love and a work to do. A piece of my heart is left pretty much everywhere God takes me, but right now I'm very thankful that He's the one who has my heart, and i trust Him with wherever he wants to take me and wherever he decides to turn my heart. When i'm away from my biological family i miss them a lot, but in the great design, there is a family for me all over the world, with a common ground on the basis of Jesus' blood. Because i'm not tied to a building, i think it's easier for me to just pick up and go on to new adventures.
God is so amazing (i don't care if that sounds cliched, it shouldn't be). He has a HOME for me with Him someday, and i just have to be patient now and serve Him, though he tarry in bringing me there. I'm "home" for the summer, but i can't wait for the next adventures God will bring me. Who knows, it'll probably be right here, this summer! :D
I think the title of this blog is still quite appropriate...

That is the mindset of a alien and stranger, and so we are! *Just passing through*! If your heart is at home in God, then you will be free to enjoy following Him even to the end of the earth! I am so happy to see that He has put that desire in your heart.
oops...I meant "an alien"
I'm so glad you're safely "home"! I had fun visiting with you and learning my way around the Burbank Airport, you never know when that might come in very handy ;o)
Love you sweet girl!
