since returning to America last Dec after a life changing semester in Scotland, my life has had more downs than ups. or at least, it feels that way. the transition alone took its toll on me, and i struggled to understand why God would allow me to fall in love with a place and its people so quickly, and then take me away from it. the one place where i could be me, where i was loved for me. is now miles and miles away on a total different continent.
although i've been back a good 3 months now, things haven't been the easiest. i came back a changed person, things here haven't remained the same either. there has been a lot of frustrations, hurt, weariness. but every time i feel like i'm all alone, i'm not. i have awesome friends all around the world who have been there. i have the best big sis who has never failed to be there through the good and the bad, who would drop everything for me. and thanks to technology and skype, the distance seems to fade away.
God has sustained me through this semester so far, and i'm trusting that he will continue to be faithful just like he has been. his timing is perfect, and always seems to send a friend right when i need one. he's the reason i'm still trudging forward.
"God, who has called you into fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful." - 1 Cor 1:9
