storms

When I woke up this morning 

I heard the stormy winds blowing outside

 before 

I actually saw them. 

And I thought how grateful I am 

to be inside right now

Yesterday

Actually most days 

since I returned to the states

storms have been swirling around me

not rain storms

Life storms 

of

unsettledness, sadness, grief, joy, loneliness, connections

transition

When a missionary returns to their home culture, 

it is 1 year back for every 3 years away that it takes them to fully adjust to their "home" culture.

I have time...

God is faithful

God is gracious

God is sovereign and He is Holy

oh how grateful am I

to be inside God's arms in these storms
