I love my family and I am so thankful that I am able to be around them everyday because I haven't been in home in nearly 5 years. Its a transition though, like any location change would be. I have to get used to living with my parents again and have certain rules I must follow by being under their roof once again.
Being home has been hard in more ways then one. I miss my church terribly and I miss all my friends as well. When you leave a place and come back after 5 years, you can't expect it not to change, ya know? I've had lonely days and I've had really great days. I've had times where I've been on the mountain top with the Lord and I've had days where I am in the bottom of the pit with the devil.
I had two pretty down days last week and I allowed the devil to defeat me. But Saturday night, I started doing my devotion again in the Beth Moore book, "Get out of that Pit" and wow did God do a number on me that night?! I was reading a chapter about when you slip into a pit yourself and God just blew my mind. He revealed so much stuff to me and really encouraged me! I truly believe that I am changed. I went to church Sunday morning, and I believe that I found the church of my home season. Ironically, its the church that I was baptized in as a child. (Oh, the ways of the Lord.)
I'm not saying that I will never have another down day in this season. I just feel as if I've gotten over one hurdle in this journey so far. (With many more to go I'm sure...) God is faithful. I am forever grateful for His love, mercy, and faithfulness to me. Even the times that I didn't deserve any of it.
I'm hopefully going to keep up this blog to show the transition and my season.
Psalms 42:5
