Home on another Planet

Who knew coming back to the place I know better than anywhere else in the entire world would feel so foreign to me? I've only been away for 6 months, but it feels like ages. Nothing has changed, but for some reason things just feel so different. I guess even though I prepared for a feeling like this, I couldn't anticipate everything until I experienced it. And now that I am, the only word that comes to mind is "weird". Granted, it is great to be home and see my family and re-connect with old friends, but at the same time, it is really weird. Nothing has really changed, just I have and maybe that's where it gets a bit awkward. I am forever changed and will continue changing everyday. And I find it hard at times to know what to say when someone says something I don't agree with or relate with. God is here and He is definitely working, and I keep clinging to that truth. He is always good, and no matter where I am on this earth, God will always be the same God and I am discovering that more and more each new day I am here. I don't know why I felt to start a blog about my life back home... not like it's really all that exciting, but I think it makes me feel supported to know there are people who like reading these sort of things and it's also a way of getting my thoughts out to the world. I'm trusting God has huge plans for these next 5 months I am here. He's even started doing things. I got to pray over my sister's knee today.. not sure how she felt about that, but hey God wants us to pray and He wants to heal. It's all patience and persistence on our parts so I am trusting God has a plan with this situation and He will even bring our relationship closer because of it, which would be awesome. I know there will be plenty of other ways God will reveal His love and movement, so I suppose I will just pray and wait and obey in the mean time.
