Two Worlds

  • Nov 21, 2025

It can be truly difficult to understand the alienation and alignment that comes from being part of two worlds, fitting into both and neither at the same time. As some of our friends prepared to head back to the United States, they shared their mixed emotions with us…part excitement and part sadness. Having just made a similar trip recently (in reverse), I can well understand the feelings. If I returned home, part of me would always be missing. I don’t think I could be content going back permanently, as much as I miss it, unless God clearly showed us that was His will. In some ways, there are pieces of me in several countries, represented by people I love and places I’ve visited. I have many homes and no home. We truly are strangers and pilgrims. Yet the one redeeming factor is that it makes my longing for my heavenly home even greater. One day, I will be able to settle in for good. One day, goodbyes will all be over. And one day, I will at last find a place where I belong. 💕
