¡Ay Muchacha!

Well, it seems that I have returned to the United States of America. My trip to the DR was amazing and absolutely life changing, but you can read all about that at www.americanamuchachas.wordpress.com . They warned us a lot about transitioning back to the states and going through culture shock and all that jazz, but quite frankly I haven't had time to deal with culture shock. While Jennifer and I were in The Dominican Republic, my father made the tough decision to put our house up for sale. Shockingly, the house sold within a week of being on the market and went into a 45-day escrow. Everything happened so quickly and I was in a completely different country and I couldn't deal with this impending change! As mentioned in previous posts, I am not a real big fan of change, and I feel like I've been dumped into so much huge change! So, the last several days since I've been home have been filled with prayer and conversations and trying to determine what the next step is that the Lord has for me.
Basically it breaks down to two choices: 1) Move to NorCal with my family, live with my grandparent's for a time, find a new job and a new church, or 2) Find a place to live here in SoCal, continue working for Pacific Camps, and stay involved with Lighthouse Bible Church. There are so many reasons to go with both choices, and I have never been a really good decision-maker. I have less than a week to figure out what I'm going to do with myself. Meanwhile I am catching up with friends here, packing and trying to put together a presentation of our trip for church. Incidentally, if any of you are interested, the presentation of our trip will be this Sunday, August 8th at 6:00pm at Lighthouse Bible Church 4910 Cochran St., Simi Valley, CA 93063. Please come by! There will be lots of pictures and stories :-)
Well friends, thank you all for your prayers and friendship!
