My sister came to visit this month! It was a refreshing time of familiarity. We traveled, laughed, braaied, played games, and cherished each moment. Time with family always causes me to be a bit more introspective, asking myself hard questions that require no answer. I am so grateful for my life and my family in South Africa. I couldn't ask for a better life. Yet I sometimes find myself longing for what's back home. Can I call it home? I'm not sure; maybe I have two homes now. What I do know is that contradicting emotions can absolutely coexist. If you find yourself in a similar situation, or if for any other reason you find the holidays a difficult season, my heart is with yours. We will not only get through this season, but I believe, if we choose to, we can find the joy in it, too. Much love.
