Something is wrong with me... I am almost convinced of that.
The truth is everything that I am feeling is normal. It is however rather difficult processing as I walk through this.
I feel a lot like a nomad or a gypsy. No fixed place of abode... just a series of stops of varying length.
I could quote all sorts of biblical things which may imply that I should find my grounding in God. However the reality is, even though my foundation is in Him, I am still human.
Aren't we all human? How many times do we convince ourselves that we can be more than human because we call ourselves Christian?
Nonesense I say! Live! Be real! Find people who understand and accept us with our faults and short comings.
Breathe!
At the end of the day... God is still on the throne, Jesus is still risen and I am still His! (even with all my weirdness).
Thank God for Jesus!
When all is said and done, I am His and He is mine... and nothing is going to change that!
luv you JC!

October was a strange month in Barbados.
A few days after I arrived in the island, some kind of tropical system caused unusual flooding across the country.
Sam Lorde's Castle (an historical site as well as a former hotel) was mysteriously destroyed by fire. (It was in disrepair prior to this as well)
Our Prime Minister succumbs to his 7 month long battle with pancreatic cancer. Our youngest PM dies after only a short 100 days in office.
During the time of mourning for our PM a tropical depression which quickly became a tropical storm then a hurricane. It seemingly came out of nowhere... or maybe we were still reeling from the loss of the PM. No one was prepared for it, it seems. Some places have taken more than a week to have water and electricity restored.
As for me, I'm making every effort to rest while visiting people as often as I can. Also visiting cell groups.

Other possibilities exist as well. I really want to use this time at home well and wisely!
