Road Trip Reflection

The two weeks spent on the road were really lovely. It was a lot of time to myself, which I have learned is so important for my transition back to the states, especially this time with all the change that I have come home to. There was also a lot of time with people that I love. It was so special to get to catch up with people. To share stories of what my life has looked like the past four years. To hear stories of what God has done in the lives of others since we've been apart. The reverse culture shock was especially interesting this time because I was getting to see so many different parts of the U.S. from the Bible Belt to the Corn Husker State. In conclusion, America is a beautiful country full of beautiful people who are hurting and in need of freedom just as much as the poverty stricken people groups in third world cultures. My prayer for my time here in America is that I wouldn't lose sight of that, and that He would be able to use me here while I am here to be love to people around me.
