Janelle and I had a date the other day. We needed some girl time and with the other people involved in a few other things - the opportunity was too good to pass up.
It was great fun to hang out, look at things, and talk....just to two of us.
At one point I asked her how she was doing being back in the states. Her response?
"Fine." Hmmm....digging a bit deeper (asking a better question)...
"What is your favorite part about being back in the USA?"
"Well....I like being back with family and friends."
Clearer answer. Then I asked if she was missing Mexico.
"YES."
"What part?"
"I miss my friends."
Hmmmm....the good about being back is also the hard about being back. The good about our time there was new friends and 'family'. The hard was missing family and friends here.
You see where this is going right? We were incredibly blessed in relationships in our travels and service and we're missing them like crazy, but will be focusing on the good in all of it even though there are hard patches.
