being home

Being home so far has definitely taken some adjusting. I came home happily to my family and friends, but also left people who are very dear to my heart. My two years at Bible College are two years that I wouldn't trade for anything. It started off rough in my first semester.And after many tears and wanting to go home, the Lord brought me to a place I would have never thought. He grew me and stretched me. And now being away from Murrieta and the Bible college I feel as though I am missing home again. It's a weird feeling, having two homes. Always missing one when you are at the other.

Even my spiritual life is different sine being home. Not in a bad way, just different. I don't have that push form everyone at the bible college. When you're there, Jesus and the Bible are all around you- there was no escaping it even if you wanted too. At home I have a great Christian family and Christian friends who I am so thankful for. Yet it is still different then being at the college. Being there you are constantly being given the word of God,whether it is in morning devos, classes, chapel, etc. Since being home it takes more of a dying to myself attitude to give even more of my time to Him since it isn't being forced.

I thank God for my time at Bible College, for all I learned, and all the people I met. Now it's not a matter of moving on to a new point in my life. But carrying over all that I learned into this new point.
