Coming back to my home church this weekend was just something I really needed. Even though I've been gone and away for so long and randomly come back every now and then, my church family always welcomes me back with open arms and treats me as if I had never left. I love them and miss them dearly.
I got to meet up with my mentor finally, and we had dinner and talked for 4 hours, catching up with each other and sharing about how God has been working in our lives. We had Greek food, which I love and it was so yummy!!!
Then after the service at church today, my brothers called me and found me to go with them on their routine coffee run. I was so warmed by the gesture; that they called me and came to find me just to go with them even though I'm usually not around to go with them. We still joked around with each other and fought over siting in the front seat like we used to. I was just so happy that they missed me too and wanted to spend those 45 mins with me to catch up on our lives and get food/coffee.
Then after Sunday school, the younger girls that I used to lead worship with and fellowship with came up to me and we started chatting again. I really missed them and was so glad that they were also happy to see me. I wish I had more time to catch up with them all deeply, but I was restrained by time. However, I am glad to see and hear from them, and it seems like they are doing well and are growing!!
Even though I feel that my home will be in Waterloo for a few more years, I am very thankful to have my home church family to still be here for me and that I can feel joyful with when I come home.
