Home and the Past

Going to the DC area always feels like "home" to me. I feel so blessed to have a place that feels like home, especially after meeting and getting to know so many TCKs and MKs. I love being able to see friends and family and just reconnect to where I was.

One of the things I have struggled with in looking at the past (where I was) and what I've done is that it can sometimes stir up a lot of emotions - good and bad. This is often overwhelming, but what God has really been reminding me is that I'm not done and that these emotions are normal; it's more about how I handle and deal with the emotions and the issues God reveals. It's easy for me to get really caught up in these old emotions, to run over everything that happened in the past and get stuck there. But I must strive to look at the past and remember what God has done and how he has healed me, yet know that he is always growing and teaching me and that I'm not done. Nor will I ever be. But God is good, and he will not cease to complete the work he has done.

My thanks and praise to my great God.
