"...And they admitted that they were aliens and strangers on earth. People who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own. If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return. Instead, they were longing for a better country—a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them." Hebrews 11:13-16

Back In Canada

So I'm back in Canada. Not really over the jetlag yet. I feel like I've been run over by a truck.

It's been really good seeing all my friends and family but really strange that I am not going to school for the whole semester. I am going to be here for the first couple of weeks and then going home to Grande Prairie, Alberta for my sister's wedding. I'm excited for that.

I am going to spend the rest of the semester in Grande Prairie having a break from all things. I'm not sure how I feel about that...I'm not good at spending down time but I know it's what I need to sort through everything that's happened to me over the last year.

So far readjusting has been ok. It's not really that hard to slide right back into your own culture. I do however have moments of shock and horror at some of the things that I see and hear. It really amazes me at how such a short time overseas can make such a huge impact in my life.

I am forever thankful for the experiences that I had in Sri Lanka.
