Wow, I didn't realize that it had been this long since I last blogged. For better or worse, it's been a journey for me since coming back from Europe. I came back floating on this cloud of European tidiness and privacy, full of good memories with some of my closest friends, and landed in a heap on the humid Lebanese soil. I spent a good amount of time with friends in Lebanon, and helped out at YFC's Youth Alpha, catching onto their train of excitement from camp. That part was really good.

But as the days wore on, I found myself getting down more and more. For me, being back home meant going back to work, and I wasn't ready for that... not yet anyway. But there wasn't much I could do, and so I instead chose to focus on what I knew was up ahead for the fall and winter of this year. Exciting things. A second part-time job, my original job which I actually love, YFC and Oasis, friends, my parents eventually coming back from their trip, Hundred Percent and gigs, etc.

Last week, I had the privilege of being in a place full of the presence of God. It was this same place where I was reminded of why I'm here: God wants me here for the time being, because it's part of His plan, and seeing as how I've chosen to be a part of His plan, letting Him lead me is a major step in it. And if His plan is even remotely similar to what I experienced deep in the recesses of my spirit last week, then I want to be a part of it every day for the rest of my life.
