I now have 2 homes.
It is day 2 of being back in America and I am struggling.
I was struggling when I was there because I missed America. Now I am struggling here because I miss Uganda. I guess this is how I will live, because there is no going back to the way things were. My heart now resides on 2 very different continents.
I am sure that I will be posting stories, pictures, thoughts on Africa for a long time. It radically changed my life. It changed what I want to do, how I want to live, how I see life, how I see myself, and I how I see my God.
I am still quite jet-lagged and freezing. Going from 90 degree and humid every day to snow is quite the leap. also, it is 7:22 Monday evening there, and we are just beginning the day. So I will write more when my head is more clear. But, because it is MLK Jr. Day, I found a quote I thought fitting for my current state of mind.
"An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity."
-Martin Luther King Jr.
