In need of guidance

Ok, so it has officially been too long since I have updated my blog. I do apologize but time has slipped away. I am home now in MI and going through a lot of emotional lows. The first month or so being home felt great. I really enjoyed seeing people again and loved getting the chance to talk to a lot of my supporters and to pray with my roommate Mandy again. I've missed so many things, however, I have hit the wall now and have been feeling pretty low. Having lived in Kosovo for nearly a year I felt established and purposeful, knowing and having an identity among a people group like that and being established with a small family of believers. I felt comfortable there at last, but the transition back, which I though would be fairly easy, has been an emotional roller coaster. Re-entry back into America is the end of a foreign experience yet the beginning of feeling foreign. In some sense I feel so foreign here, and feel like I have lost part of my identity. I know I have not lost who I am in Christ(which is most important), but I still feel so stuck, not knowing where to go from here or who I should be or what road do I take now. My heart says many things, but I still keep feeling discouraged. I will be spending a week at a friend's in Kalamazoo, hoping that I will find some clarity when talking with her and listening to God away from the noise of Port Huron. Please pray for me if you think of it. I need some guidance.
