Wow, God is our healer and he is really good at it.

 Man. I love him so much and how he works. Moving back from Kona Hawaii and working in ministry has been quite the transition. I have experienced Lots of up and downs, good days and REALLY hard days. Feeling like an alien or fish out of water. When you live on a campus of at least 1,000 people who are all there to serve Jesus while reaching the nations, you don’t run out things to talk about, nor out of constant encouragement from one another. Community is very real, biblical and is powerful. When you’re LITERALLY living with other people who have similar goals, and have come from similar places to follow God with everything there are stories to be shared. Stories of previous trials, and how they got to where they are, that leak encouragement to others. Or sharing stories from missionary to missionary who has been on the field for years, to the first timer still figuring out who they are. The tight knit, family bond you create with others is very intentional because without it, it would almost be impossible. God is crafty and creative, how he plans things out and brings people together for certain seasons, reasons and purpose. 

With that said, I have been HOME as in in living in the house that I grew up in, for two years now! When I left two years ago, I had no vision to return to this home I kind of thought out and about, searching to know where to land. This brings up another reason why I’m writing. Searching, I was on a journey of searching. Searching for home, for where I land. Well, God placed me home to show me once again, in his love and kindness, that where I BELONG is in him. As I seek him first, the rest falls into place. (Seek first the kingdom and his righteousness and all else will be added to you) Knowing that I belong in God is what a new believer level of faith, well sometime we need to be reminded of the core foundations to Christian faith. I apparently needed to be reminded of that truth. And I am so very thankful God did remind me. Since I have been reminded of this truth, I have loads more peace in my heart, and I trust God on a deeper level. He is my provider, protector and my shepherd. I love him. These are a few reasons why.

 I hope this post blessed you!
