these days

i’ve been home for a little over 3 weeks now, and of course there has been those people who simply ask “how was it?”. I’m not mad, but that question elicits a simple one word answer which is impossible. and then there are those who genuinely care and will listen to my stories that really are not great stories, but mean a lot to me. so thanks for listening.

but i’m discovering that it’s hard to describe, or put into words, a time of significant transformation, or whatever you want to call it. some things happened to me in 2010 that i will never forget. some things happened that will forever play a part in whoever it is i have become when i die.

so these days i’m left with fewer answers and more questions, and my favorite people are those who only say what needs to be said, you know, those people who don’t really waste their words (WHAT A VIRTUE!!!!!!). these thoughts and ideas that have been rattling around in my skull for the 9 months i was away need to come to fruition in my life here in the states. they came a lot easier in lesotho for some reason, but bringing these things to fruition here in the states is proving to be a difficult task. i could speculate as to why this is true, but that doesn’t really matter.

another question i’ve been asked a lot lately is “so what’s next?” and my answer is “i’m trying to be obedient to god and what he wants from me. currently, i have no idea what that looks like.” but i have some ideas.
