Coming Home
Ten more days until i come home! i don´t even really know what to say because i´m just so mixed up right now about coming home. i´m bursting with excitement and is like almost all i think about. i just think about seeing everyone and hanging out and what i´m gonna do and all this stuff. then i think about this being over and then i´m thinking, oh no what am i gonna do... i´ve built this life and it will just all be torn down in a single second. the only thing i´ve built that going to stay with me is my realtionship with God and it is really the single thing i have to cling on. i wrote a poem about it this morning. It´s just hard stuff to let go of. Well alot of the discomforts are not, but letting go of your life isn´t easy at all. Yet that is what God has called me to do. All of us.´´loose your life and you will find it´´. i´m starting to see what that means a little. i have never thought that would include losing the ¨missionary life´´ but it does. Also, the world i have left at home that has gone on without me.... i can´t hold on to it like it´s my world anymore because its not. everything i have built will be torn down. i was asking God this morning ´´what is it even worth´´. and i have come to learn that the real home i have is in the arms of my father. it is the place i can take every where, the only place there is no lonliness, and the only place i am really me. as i let him hold me and press my ear to his chest, his heart says ´´You are worth it to me´´. That´s what this time has been all about. Not about ´´this world of mine´´ or ´´that world of ours´´ but about home, my real home. Dear God, take my worlds apart.

Annannna,
I can totally relate to what your saying. When all is stripped away, there is only one thing left worth having, the loving relationship with our Father.May you always trust his warm embrase.I love you!
