i have just come home from a quick jaunt in peru. it was wonderful, and i stretched myself in ways i wasn't sure i could handle! traveling alone in a foreign country is actually quite liberating and fulfilling. it was seamless, enjoyable, hedonistic, and just much easier than i thought it would be. coming home from a trip, no matter how short, is ALWAYS a great feeling. i've had a lot fo time to think and process and i was ready to have a soft bed to rest my thoughts for the night last night.
now that i am home, my mind is wandering in other, less productive directions. i am aiming for joy, love, contentment, and i am only half succeeding so far. there is so much pressing on my heart, so many aches and dreams and prayers and desires, and i guess i just need to wait them out for now.
my best friend in santa barbara is moving to colorado in only a few short months, and i feel the life slowly being pressed out of me. i am not sure what life will look like here without my "home" to come home to whenever i want, but for some reason, i feel an odd peace of mind about it. i am confident god has it under control and won't let me lose my way. or at least too far out of the way :)
i am nervous about a few things to come, but i am learning to let go. slowly but surely. very slowly....
my life is so easy compared to so many other's, and i am so grateful for the comforts and warmth of home.
