An update for the sake of updates

So currently plans are in order for wanderingchacos.com, zhongwenvocab.com, and theveritasway.com. Suffice to say I am keeping busy with all of them.

Back on the beaten path

Life back in the states is different now seeing it with new eyes. I find myself more often keeping quite when I would often be gabbing away. It's different trying to be "you" again especially after you realize that you don't really like the person you once were, but you have friends saying, "you're different in a way I can't quite put my finger on." I'm not sure what to make of it. Looking back I cannot stand the person I once was before my trip. It makes me wonder, what was so appealing then? What do I offer now?

I'm still trying to reconcile the things I have learned from Narnia as I attempt to assimilate back to college life in the Land of the Free.

What now?

What do you do when you have a life changing experience and you are no longer the person you once were? How do you resume the life you once lived? Do you simply brush the experience off as a nice memory and acquiesce back to life as though it never happened? Would it be wrong not to make serious changes to the way I once lived in this prosperous land?

The answers to such questions still elude me. I do know that I am not the person I once was. Praise God!


How do I go back to my life expecting the standard of living I once was so comfortable with now knowing that most of the World does not have such blessings? I had always known the statistics and had the head knowledge of how lucky I am to be an American, but now its heart knowledge from personal experience. I have faces to tie now to such sobering statistics. Those facts now carry weight and burden my mind. I am thankful to be burdened with such knowledge and experiences. I can continue forward being grateful for all that I have and making the most to bless others with that which I have been given.

The questions haunt me, but I am grateful to be haunted. I will continue to seek the Lord and pray that He would show me how to move forward and address such questions. Praise God it's not all up to me.
