I'm feeling different shades of haze these days. There are things and sub-things rolling around like marbles in my head not ready to be complete thoughts yet.
A new school year
ready?
not ready?
Downshifting from an exhausting and emotional summer
missing people
processing thoughts and feelings
learning from circumstances, some made, some given to me
Slap-me-in-the-face change
friends that moved away
a little boy who's gone forever but so NOT forgotten
a new boss
Mixing up of groups
new people
old people in new places
new friends?
Transitions
what's important to learn?
what am I missing?
we are all experiencing it, am I showing grace?
Ministry
what does it look like this year?
wanting to do everything and nothing at the same time
leading worship tomorrow, feeling very nervous for some reason
Next year
staying?
going?
where and why?
I am so very happy to be home. I'm just feeling all jumbled up inside. And not in a depressed, moody way. More in a life-is-awesome-but-I-can't-see-anything-clearly sort of way. I'm quite sure it has to do with jet lag and adjustments and Jesus, all rolled into one. I plan to take some time today to rest and pray and spend extra time in the Word. Oh and shop for the typhoon party.
Seriously? A typhoon?

love you friend...
I feel the same way. It's super hard to deal with, isn't it? I'm hoping once the school year actually gets started then I won't feel like my brain and heart are scrambled eggs.
I saw that typhoon headed your way. Stay dry! And I can relate to all the changes and mixed-up feelings they create. Our Middle School moved campuses over the summer, and we get a new boss this year, too. Here's to the every changing international world we call "home."
