My life is in a completely different place than I ever thought that it would be and that's what I love about it.

Another Summer of Transition

It's yet another summer in Ocala, which is as exciting as you would imagine it. The only thing that gets me through is watching re-runs of Will and Grace and my loveliest of friends that I miss so much when I'm away. My summer started off with a bang...I came home from Salerno and straight into my family reunion, which is a classier/older version of a southern frat party. Then three days later I went to Korea for Crusade's world missions conference/my team leader training. It was incredible and exhausting all at the same time. I had the pleasure of seeing a peak of what Revelation 7 will be like. I'll never forget that moment. The rest of July consisted of hanging out with my lovelies and raising support. And August is flying by. I was able to go to New York and see Jeremy and Steffany, which I don't see enough. And I'm just coming off a trip to Colorado where we had our STINT briefing. It was very similar to last year except for the terrifying feelings of doing ministry and moving to a foreign country that thankfully I didn't have this year.

All these components strung together equal the summer of transition. I've finished a year in Italy and now I'm back in the US, but I'm going back to Italy. So...do I hold onto Italy or do I invest in America? Sometimes I feel very torn on which way I should be going, but most of the time I feel like I'm just waiting for the next thing. Which is true. I'm waiting for two things: all my support to come in and to get back to Italy where there is purpose to my day. It's strange how that happened. I never thought Italy would feel normal to me, but it does. (Something about blogging makes me a little emo...sorry about that)

I'm trying to think of what else is new/on my mind...whatever I've got nothing. No reason to keep going just for the sake of a longer post.
