Kinda like Dreams...

Its was so strange returning to Vancouver for a week... Its like I've put my life in Japan asside and just returned to the way things were before I left. I felt as if I didn't spend 4/5 months living in Japan! The whole time I was there, all I was thinking about was how I was going to spend another 8 agonizing months away from the beautiful place I called home.

It was great to be back in Vancouver... most people treated me as if I never left and we were able to catch up like old times and such. I was really thankful I didn't feel much awkwardness while I was there... but then again I haven't really been gone that long! hahahah.

I got to see everyone I wanted to see!! It was great! I even got to see people that I wouldn't normally see too.... WAHHHHHH

Now that I'm back in Japan... it was like it was a dream that I was even in Vancouver at all... HAHAHAH.... just back into the pattern of things here...

But now I'm striving for more! I think my trip home help renew my drive to do things while in Japan... to personally challenge myself...

Ian gave me a great book -its such an awesome read, I totally recommend it to anyone!!- Blue like Jazz is a book that bridges the gap that I felt between how to make my personal walk as a christian understandable to the people who are so different here that I've had the privilage of getting to know. Also its challenged me in my faith to really work as well as trust in God to really continue to grow as a person... I think its put some things I've made too important back in their places priority wise.... I hope that sticks...

Also, its good to get back in touch with reality... make sure I stay sharp in pushing myself into doing more with my life here, to do as much as I can to aid myself to returning home.... hmmm lots of typing from me... hope its not just typing...

WAHHHH *huggles every one in Vancouver* I love you!!!!!!!!
