So, I've been back for a few days now (probably about 9 or 10), and MAN! I could tell you some stories. I've had some freak-out, anxious, happy, sad, down-right depressed, and even ecstatic moments... It's been a whirl-wind to say the least.
One of the things that helped me last week, though, was a devotional that just hit me where I needed it and said to just do what God was calling you to do. He told me to go to seminary, so that's what I'm doing. There will be rough times, but they will get better. America is so much more different than what I remember, and that's probably more because I have changed, rather than it has changed. (However, I think the debit cards on snack machines are new. I have NEVER seen that before!)
I have been driving again, and I realized just how MUCH I missed that. It has been great to drive again (paying for gas, however, is NOT great).
I will be moving into my own place in August, and I'm really excited about that, but a little appalled at how much things cost... that is not going to be fun!! However, I *DO* like decorating, and have already been planning everything.
I'm going to head off for now, but expect some stories at various points of time. They WILL be coming.
