The mundane of life for me was to boring. Coming back to the States, is a sea of mixed emotions. Out of all the people I've met at airports or in small town USA, they have all asked the same question: "What made you go to New Zealand?" My answer is always the same: I felt like my life was empty and I wanted to start traveling and get out of the mundane of going after the "American Dream". The reaction to that answer has been one of two things: 1. Good for you! 2. You're really brave....
Oh really though, it's not me that's brave, I'm just doing as I'm told. Which is a good thing too.
I've really been in Genesis 32:22-32 when Jacob wrestles with God. I feel like I'm wrestling with God and Man right now. Transitioning back into "normal" life and only being back for 6 weeks is a hard thing. I've done culture shock before but this is like mental culture shock, having to curve my language or explain myself. It's not that bad but it's hard for me to fully get across what I've been through. I guess that's for anyone though.
It hasn't even been a week yet but I know that although this time is short it's going to be amazing.
