I'm back

   So sorry for the lack of updates! I should be back to blogging after this terribly long period of silence :) It seemed like there wasn't much to report on there for a little while and then, suddenly, things got crazy and I was left feeling a little overwhelmed! 
   So, where to begin?!? How about...I love my life! I really cannot imagine serving the Father anywhere else in this world right now. That is not to say I wouldn't love to be able to run home for a quick visit every now and then ;) But, the Father is so good and the life He's given me here truly is a gift. I have reached the point where I drive around town feeling like...I don't know...I fit, I belong. I'm not just this strange white person roaming around a strange new city trying to figure everything out and wondering when it will feel natural to be here. I like it. It's progress. I'll never tire of declaring the faithfulness of the Father! Only He could make me feel at home in a place that holds little reflection of what I know to be home! 
   However, the Father did see fit to send a little piece of home over for a visit recently. My sis!!! She flew over last month for about a 10 day visit and it was incredible! I think I was in shock half the time she was here! It was so amazing and strange having her here in my city! We had such an amazing time together as I introduced her to the glitz and glamour of life here ;) It was a huge boost of encouragement for me and I am just so thankful she was able to come! Love you sis! 


Ok...well, there is so much I will be sharing with you in the coming weeks so don't lose heart, I really am back!
