Back for more

It was a hectic itsy bitsy visit home.  But, I enjoyed reconnecting with family and as many of the friends as I could see Sunday morning.  

Coming back, I'm happy to be here.  My visit totally confirmed that I should be here.  How do I explain this...the whole time I was home, I was longing for time when I could sit quietly with God.  It is good to know that I am where I'm supposed to be.

I had a pretty emotional time being home.  And, I carried that emotion here.  I think God is doing something in my heart (wooohoo!!) and it has me really vulnerable and not quite sure what to do with it all.  Typically, this is the point where I would find some mean of escape, TV, movies, hours on internet.  But, I'm learning that this is not really the answer.  God gave people (me included) some pretty powerful emotions....numbing them with entertainment does not end well.  Its taken me a long time to realize that what I need to do is learn to walk through these emotions.  Now, is the journey of learning to walk through them.  And, walking through them will involve some serious giving them to God and what that looks like.  

Really - what does giving emotions to God look like?  Its easy enough to say, I'm sure it'll be hard to do, but the question in my head is what do I actually do/say to God to give Him my emotions ?
