"Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." - Proverbs 3:5-6
I can’t believe I have been home for almost a week. Time has flown. This week has been full of quality time with the people I love. As well as a lot of slow days, Christmas movies, American food, hot showers, and cozy evenings. Many things that I missed so much. There’s certainly no place like home, especially at Christmas.
On the one hand, I feel like I am dealing with a lot of adjustments. I have been struggling with jet lag pretty badly, as well as acclimating to the extreme weather change. However, in other aspects, the adjustment has been a lot less harsh than I expected. I have pretty seamlessly fallen back into life and the routine of things here. In some ways, it feels as if I had never left. I didn’t expect that.
I am very thankful for this slow, relaxing time of the year. My timing for coming back could not have worked out better. The holidays allow me several weeks to fully transition back before school starts. Something I definitely need a bit of time to mentally prepare for.
I am still feeling a bit unsettled by all the changes. And there are a lot of things I’m still processing. But I am thankful for the ways God has been working. Things have been better
than I imagined and I pray that rest of this transition period continues to be that way.
I think I’m finally getting rid of the last of my mosquito bites haha. In all seriousness though, I truly miss everyone and nearly everything back in Thailand. I have talked nonstop at times and shown countless pictures in an effort to convey just how much I enjoyed the experience. I hope I can go back to visit, perhaps within this next year. We will see how God leads.
So with that, my blogging here comes to an end. I would like to say one last thank you to everyone who made this experience possible for me and to everyone there who made it better than I ever imagined!
