Off on Another Adventure

As of a few days ago I have been home for THREE WHOLE MONTHS! Wowza. I can hardly believe it. Or the adventures I've been on since coming back! Haha. So, my plan in coming home was to go back to UWEC and get a nursing degree. That didn't happen. The whole time I was there I just had a voice in the back of my head asking "What are you doing here?!" I was back and forth on my decision but in the end decided not to continue. And I felt soooo relieved! I don't know how to explain my whole decision making process in deciding to go back and then deciding to not go back, but in the time since leaving again I feel like God really has called me to where I am currently. So, upon leaving the University I decided to look into nannying, and after talking a little with a family that I'm good friends with, the Karguses, I decided to move to WA with them to help homeschool their girls for what remains of the school year. So, I'm here in Washington as of about a week and a half ago. Yeah, left home again two weeks ago. It was a little strange to be saying goodbye again so soon, but I knew it would only be for three months, and somehow it didn't seem so bad just moving across the country as opposed to going down south again : )  Anyways, I only left two weeks ago, and it's been fairly chaotic riding out here and then helping unpack enough to fill a house, but in some ways it has been so incredibly restful for me. I don't know if it's just because I'm in a new environment and not surrounded by people I know and things to do, but I've just had a lot of time to "recover" in a way. It's hard to explain exactly how I felt after returning from Bolivia, but I was just very beaten down in many ways, and I feel like I've finally arrived at a place where I'm "healthy" again. Those of you who have been on the missions field (and possibly a lot of you who haven't) can probably understand what I mean when I say that. I don't know if it's just been more focused set apart time in the word or prayer or just finally enough time and distance between me and Bolivia, but I just feel refreshed in a way I can't explain, and I'm very thankful to the Lord for that. Anyway, I'll be in Washington till May, then head back home for some graduation stuff for my lil bro : )  And then this summer I will be working at Arrowhead again, and after that... we'll see I guess. As always I have tons of options, and as always I'm excited to see where the Lord leads. Back here, back home, somewhere new... who knows? But I'm excited for where I'm at right now, and I'm excited for this summer, and I just look forward to whatever journey God chooses to send me on next. He is faithful. Thanks to all who have continued to pray for me as I adjust to life back here in the States. It's definitely been an adventure!
