Looking back.. and forward

I've been back in the States for over a week and a half now. In those days, I've driven with friends out to the great state of Montana to see my family and to enjoy God's beautiful creation. I'm back in Ohio now, and it's been good to sit back and relax; it's given me a chance to process what I've learned and how I've grown. I can't even begin to give you a blog on what I've experienced and gone through, but I know that I wouldn't have traded the past two months for anything. The Lord teaches and guides us wherever we are on this earth, and He is faithful to continue teaching and guiding me here in these next months...

It's been hard to adjust back. Harder sometimes than others, and I miss all these babies like crazy. I met and was blessed by so many people in Kenya. My friend Mary shared a verse with our church during my time in there. It's Job 26:14, and I believe it best expresses my feelings as I left Kenya and all the amazing people I met there. God is so good.

"And these are but the outer fringe of his works; how faint the whisper we hear of him! Who then can understand the thunder of his power?"
