I’m struggling with similar feelings now as I struggle to fit in to church here and see its worth in my life beyond my experience of God in the physical, relational world that I live. Thanks for sharing this.

It was encouraging to hear the ‘inside story’ of what you were going through those years, then the assimilation process into the ‘new culture’ and finally the benefits to you and your family. Like Ariana, I am very glad you feel at home in the church community. We have been blessed the times we have worshipped with you.

What an incredible blessing.

Our journey towards the same place has seemed as natural as discovering the place where we belong in a different land.
