At Home - At Last

So it's officially been a month and 18 days since I've been in this great country of islands called Indonesia. I can't believe I've been here this long! It seems like I just got here yesterday. However, I look back on the last month and a half and realized I have accomplished a lot.

I feel as if I am settled in and filled with an overabundant amount of content. For the first time in years I feel like I am "home". Ever since I left for college four years back, I always used to find myself in limbo (not really feeling settled anywhere). However, I couldn't get off this kick of letting go of the idea of "home" being in the house that I lived in with my family for the better half of my life.

However, since I have come here, I have been able to get into a really tight social network with the teachers and students that I work with, moved into my new home, and have become established in a church. All of these have played a huge factor in getting settled and finding a place that I can call home.

I am so thrilled that God put it on my heart to teach overseas, especially here in Indonesia. It has been an experience like no other and has also provided a sense of "home-ness" which I was seemingly lacking.
