Random Thoughts

People are probably not reading this any more but thought I would post some thoughts as I have been trying to debrief myself since I have returned home and reflect on some of my experiences.
It is my prayer that I can bring what I have learned and how I have changed from my time in Rwanda back to the United States and truly have it affect and infiltrate my life here...I want it to impact everything from work to relationships to my view of life. I really do not think that I have seen that yet but maybe my expectations are higher then it should be. Maybe it will just be more subtle differences...I don't know. I want to integrate my life and experience in Africa as much as I can with my life here in the U.S. but I am unsure how to do that. I know that the Lord brought me there for a purpose and has brought me back for a purpose and I pray that my change and growth has and will make a difference.

Home

I am home. I have returned to the states and to Lancaster, PA. So everything went smoothly with my arrival home. I had two long plane flights and a long lay over in Belgium but I made it home without any problems. It was a good last week in Rwanda saying goodbye to friends and finishing up the last bit of work that I was doing which included a couple ministry proposals for YFC. So now that I am back hopefully I can take some time to truly reflect on my experience and the work that I have done. I want to be changed and believe that I am but hope that it is reflective in my daily life here at home. What is the next? This is a question with out an answer at this point but we shall see. Thank you so much for all of your prayers and support. It was great having you with me in my work over in Africa. It could not have been done without you. please continue to talk to me if you want to no even more about the work I was doing, my experiences, or what it has been like being back. Thank you
