Its so ironic that we can become so lost in the world when we are surrounded by so many circles of friends and family. The truth of that only becomes glaringly apparent when the many friendly faces have faded and only our inner circle remains. Instead of enlarging to make room for the multiple personalities we have become for multiple relationships we have formed, it binds even more tightly. Now in this little circle there is not enough room to share the 'bigness' of ourselves. Those selves that we did even not know we had become. Now in our little, isolated circle we scream when we angry, say ugly things when we are hurt, and we ignore when we are ignored. This circle has become foreign to us, but now even the outside seems so vast and lonely.
It is though we have to learn how to be ourselves again. Only now we have discovered that we are strangers to ourselves, and we feel lost.
We are praying that we can learn to be unpolluted by the world, to help our children to be unpolluted. We want to go into the world and to make disciples of all nations, to feed the hungry, to clothe the naked, to heal the sick. Please pray that we will become humble, true servants worthy of this mission.

Never forget who you are in Christ! He truly is our "all in all." Had I been so accepting of that fact when the Almighty relocated me to Florida some 3 years ago, the transition would have been easier. He knows your "true" self (your heart for Him), and He has acknowledged that by giving you a new place, a new mission, a fresh start. Let Him guide and protect and nurture you now, and let not your heart be faint. Know that we are here praying for you, thinking of you, and standing (though not as close as we'd like) with you. Keep the faith and feel God's loving arms enveloping you each moment!
