Bienvenue au Canada

So now that I've been home for a few days, I must say that it's been a bit of an adjustment, and I honestly hope that this week off will be enough for me to get re-adjusted!

There are so many things to do, so many people to see, that sometimes I just want to scream. But at the same time, I'm keeping calm and remembering how I learned to just take things easy in the Middle East. True, deadlines in Jordan are not the same as deadlines here in Canada, but no matter where I am, God is always present. So He will never give me more than I can handle.

It has been a tough few days though. Just the adjustment.

And I really do miss my friends in Jordan. While I am thrilled to see my friends here and spend time with my family, it's hard knowing that I may never see some of those people ever again.

It's funny, I thought my parents were so opposed to the idea of me staying out in the Middle East full-time. Yet on Saturday morning, my father asked me, "So, are you going back?" and before I could even answer and say, "If God calls me to," he instantly said, "Probably." And when he introduced me to Rev. Byrne on Sunday, he told him how I had "fallen in love with the Middle East."

I honestly don't know anything right now. I left Jordan at peace and knowing that the only person going home with me is Jesus. He's the only one who will be with me always, and only He knows my future. I won't be able to share my experiences with anyone here, in the same way, but Jesus is always there. And I just have to hold on to that.

I will go wherever He calls. And I just have to be patient and let Him show me in His own time.

Inshall'ah, we will see each other again. =D
