One week from now I will be on a plan on my way home. I've been waiting and ready to go home. I've so far enjoyed my PacRim trip but sometimes my heart gets in the way of everything else in life. The past month I've been more concerned with my life at home. I can't help it. Even though people have told me to focus on my trip and forget about home-I haven't been able to. I'm not that kind of person. I want to deal with things as they come right away. Not let things linger for weeks. That's how I've felt...like I've had this problem lingering in everything I do. I think about it all the time. But there's literally nothing more I can do but wait until I get home, I've tried, and been ignored and rejected almost the worst feelings ever besides not being loved back. And even once I get home I don't think I'll be able to fix anything.
But the good thing is there's just one more week. When I arrive home I think I'm going to hibernate in my room for a day with my adoring Peyton who loves me dearly and listens and agrees with everything I say. He's the best dog ever. I'm definitely going to get Chipotle that first day back though. Ohhh how I've missed it!
But I gotta get through this week first. We don't have a lot planned. We still have classes this week and a few group activities planned. But my mind is home. I don't care what others say. I'm still gonna enjoy my last week though.
So excited to have you home Kirsten. I have missed you so much!! I'm the same way... when one part of me is not at peace, none of me is a peace. It is in these times when we need to trust in the one who can not only clear our minds, but can restore our hearts. I love you girl and will continue praying for you. I'm sure someone has already told you this (and if I'm right, I bet it was your mom :)) but I know God has a huge plan for you. That's why he took you on this trip... you are not the same person you were when you left. You will return stronger and more ready to fight the next obstacle that gets in your way... you are an incredible woman with incredible dreams and passions. That's why I love you so much!!! Keep your chin up and your heart open!!
