Well, I'm home now. Sitting on my couch, about to eat some food out of my own fridge and watching Radiohead live from the basement on DVR. I have all the comforts of home and no wants unsatisfied. I have to say that my journey was again life changing for me. After seeing so many people who are so grateful to get a bag of rice, a bottle of oil, and two tiny cans for fish, I hope I will no longer complain that I don't have enough cash to go out for a hamburger at lunch instead of taking a sandwich from home. I will just be thankful that I have food in my house.

 

Also, after sharing my faith with people I don't know on a daily basis, I began to realize that I don't really share my faith with people I do know ever. That is probably the biggest eye opener to me. I really feel that I should be more open about my faith and offer to do more for the people I know. Even if they don't share in my beliefs I'm sure no one would turn down my offer to pray for them.

 

I'm kind of wondering what my day at work will be like tomorrow. After being in a land where life is so much simpler and everything is less rushed, it's hard to think about going back into the hectic day to day life that I had been in. It's not that I don't want to be back home, but I do want to try to bring some of the Thai mindset back with me. I really don't want to let life drag me around anymore, but spend my time how I decide. I think that's what it really is, here it seems that so many things are always coming up and all of them are considered important. In Thailand, there was really just one thing to think about, doing what God had called us there to do. That is something I believe God will help me to work out as I get back into "normal" life.

 

Let me say a big thank you to everyone who has supported me both through physically and spiritually on this trip. The work done in Thailand is not just from me, but from all of you as well. I pray that God bleses you all for your faithfulness to Him.
