Going Home?

I am sitting in the airport about to board the plane to head back to Tanzania. I cannot really discern the plethora of emotions running through me. It feels strange that Tanzania isn't home but it feels good for Georgia to be home again. I feel sad and happy at the same time. I am so excited but don't know what to really expect. How can I just visit? How can I not go and stay? How can I leave that place again with all of those people? I am afraid that I will feel like an outsider. I just feel a little not quite so normal. Although, what is normal really, especially for me? I know I am where God wants me and I feel peace and joy in that. I have loved my time back in America. Honestly, I think I just feel a little torn.

I am heading back for three weeks which seems like a really long time that is too short. I will hit the ground running. I arrive Saturday night and on Sunday will fly down to Dar es Salaam for our first ever national conference for Christian education. Seeing this dream become a reality is such a sweet reminder of God's faithfulness. He is a big God, that loves for us to dream big. I think sometimes He is just quietly whispering to us and saying no that isn't big enough, go bigger. Let me show you what I can really do! Isn't God amazing!

I will be able to update my blog regularly. Well, I hope. That is assuming there is internet and assuming it works and assuming there is power. I might have gotten a little too used to the world of power everyday with fast internet! =)
