I am going home in four days. I really, really miss it. Sometimes it feels like there is so much happening in life, that it is really hard to process all at once. God has been so good, and has been doing amazing things within the community here in Ohio. It has been so exciting to see Him bring people together in unity who have the same heart: to worship Him. He has been doing amazing things in my life as well. Sometimes it feels like life is happening so quickly I just want to slow down, stop, and reflect. I guess what I am trying to say, is, I am really excited to go back home to the North Shore and get away from everything for a few weeks. Since I have lived in Ohio, every time I have gone home, God always has refreshed me. I am really looking forward to that again. I want to come back to Amish country in 2011 refreshed and ready to go.
Often times the ministry talks about spiritual markers and the importance of revisiting them. For me, a spiritual marker in my life is a basketball court in Asbury Grove, Massachusetts. It is the place where I met God 4 1/2 years ago. Sadly, now it feels like a distant memory. Time has taken its course, and I have been growing up. But that summer, my life changed. I met Jesus. I can't wait to step on that court again in a few days. I sometimes forget those times in my life. I forget that God is the same as He was almost 5 years ago. It is me who has been changing and growing. But God never changes. The voice that called me when was 15 is the same voice that calls me now.
"My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me" John 10:27
