i wanted to start this blog for those of us who are here in north america for a brief (or not so brief) amount of time, who feel misplaced.
i was born and raised in california and i love this state. however, i no longer feel at home here. when i was about 18 i felt the Lord was calling me to work with orphans. since that time i have been longing to be . . . elsewhere. among the orphans of this world, i suppose. and, praise His name, two years ago He moved me to haiti to work in an orphanage! it was the most wonderful time of my life.
i am back in california now for an undetermined amount of time and i no longer belong here. i have been in contact with some friends in the same state of mind and i was hoping that in creating this blog we may find a place (be it in cyber space) where we "belong."
so, for those of you who are misplaced for the time being, who seem to lack a sense of purpose stateside, who feel distant and unconnected even within the church body that has been supporting you, who cannot put into words the thoughts, feelings and frustrations of your daily struggle, come home. please feel free here to discuss what is at times "un-discussable." please use this blog to lift one another up, to encourage each other in the faith of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. please tell of your life in other countries, the trials and the victories. please share this blog with others looking for that place to call home.
i know your struggle. i know what it's like to have lost a sense of freedom. i know that ache in your heart to just "get back home." i know what it's like not knowing when that will happen.
but let's join together in this. let us encourage one another as we are called to do.
