This has been my week.
As I told a friend a couple days ago, everything keeps changing. I wish it would stop, but I know it won't. Change is so unpredictable. So unwieldy. And so it was for that girl who's car spun around and tipped over in front of mine.
On a completely different note, when I'm away I really do miss my friends, but all I could think about this week was how much longer I had to be in SB before I could go home. In my version of the immortalized words of Frank, I left my heart at The Lake.
Aside from feeling like a fish out of water, my time down here has been good. It seems like everywhere I go and everyone I talk to has purpose in the meeting. I still don't know what possessed me to come down here for the week just to hang out when it was only a month ago that I moved away, but I can say without a doubt that this has not been a wasted trip. In fact, had I been looking for signs to tell me that where I'm going and what I'm doing is right I wouldn't have had to look very far. They've been all around me.
Just two more days...
I don't know if this is the same but. . . I would feel this feeling whenever I would come home from SB or Japan. I think it was God's way of saying that I was just there to visit and that where I was living (SB/ JPN) was where He wanted me. When I finally moved home. . . I didn't have that "fish out of water" feeling. It was when I went to SB that I felt that way. I'm sure if I could go to Japan right now I may have that same feeling. But . . . maybe not ;)
ReplyDeleteI was actually referring to SB. I know I've only been gone a month, but I totally feel out of place in this city...But I think it's a good thing, ya know? Total confirmation that I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be:)
