adjusting

so now that I am back in America, I am in this time of "adjustment"
people have asked me, "so are you all adjusted?"

well.... there are a few different things I need to get adjusted to:
for starters, there's the climate-the answer is yes, I am adjusted, I still think much below 75 is cold, but I LOVE IT!!!!

time change- yes, I am all adjusted back, but really the light is messing me up. In thailand it was light from abotu 6am to 6pm sometimes it got light at 5am sometimes it was dark at 7pm, but pretty much for 2 years that was the light schedule, I got used to wakign up when sunlight filled my room, and after it go dark I had 3 or 4 hours to wind down before going to bed. Since I have been home, the sun in the morning was pretty bright at about 7, which was good, almost the same, so getting up wasn't hard, but at night, at the beginning of July, the sun went down about 10, so then I felt like I still had 3 or 4 more hours before I should sleep, but I was getting up at 7:30, so I needed to be going to bed around 10! now the sun is coming up later and later, so it's getting harder and harder for me to get up!!! I hope this will get easier though.

getting to a "normal" schedule. The past month of being in Thailand was crazy as I was trying to get everything prepared to come back home, see everyone before I left, and still working, going to meetings and going on campus everyday, planning and having events, etc.. now that I am home, it's crazy because I sort of get to plan my own schedule, and having a lot more free time, it's hard to balance time with family, time with friends, working out, having a quiet time, and getting work done. I find myself spending a whole day doing one thing, not multiple things, so no I have not adjusted to balancing out my time.

Raising support again....my thoughts on that are AAAAaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!! no really, I am trying to remember God can provide for all my needs, and he has in the past, and he will do it again, and he has not called me to be on staff with Campus Crusade if he means for me just to fall flat on my face and be lacking. but it's hard. so no, I have not quite gotten adjusted to raising support again, but I think I am almost there! :-)

to seeing my friends again. YES! let me just tell you, I LOVE being able to see friends and be encourage and enjoy one another's company. I have kept in touch with most of them, but not consistently, and often times I felt very lonely and forgotten in Thailand, but now it seems like everyone wants to see me and hang out, and I really do love being lifted up and encouraged by them after a year or two of separation.
