The Answer to the Question

Tomorrow I leave for South Africa. Two weeks ago I wondered if, when it was time to leave, I would feel like I was leaving home or coming home. Tonight, I have an answer to that question:

It's both. I am both leaving home AND coming home. I cannot help but have one foot in each country, as those two countries make up who I am. I am richer for having experiences in both, despite the occasional confusion of wondering where I truly belong. And yes, there are times when I wonder where I best fit in. I cannot always answer that question. Only one thing remains constant throughout the changes of my life: I will still follow Jesus.

Amen to that, sister! I understand this feeling completely.
