Hello all!
This week marks my 6th week home from New Zealand. It was hard to leave New Zealand, but I have gained the perspective being home. I am so appreciative of the life, family, friends, and abundance of love I have here in California - not to mention the warm, sunny summer! What I have to say is, since I had to leave NZ, that I am so thankful this is what I get to come back to. I am around Southern California with the eyes of one who is showing her stomping grounds to someone for the first time. While everything is familiar, there is a freshness to everything that I see and notice. It truly makes me recognize the beauties and details of Southern California; the place I know is home.
I want to thank everyone all for your support, love, and consistency in following my travels through Australia, Fiji, and of course, New Zealand. It was an experience that has impacted me and a part of my heart will forever be left in the South Pacific - I feel so blessed to have been able to have had this opportunity, I think of it daily and I know God has used this time I had abroad to strengthen me.
