it's not perfect

why?
why now, why ever.
what happened?
what am I doing?
why don't you tell me the truth?
why are you holding back?
why is this so confusing?
why is this so hard?

just tell me why

back. missing & moving on.


So it's been about 3 weeks since I've been back from Cuba, and I don't think the impact of the trip has faded away yet. I really hope it doesn't. Our friendships within the team has only grown stronger and I still miss Cuba so much. It's been kind of hard coming back, even though I know that Vancouver will always be home to me. It's like for those two weeks, we could just leave everything and focus on serving God and now that we're back, there's just so much to do. I don't think it should be different, that our focus should still be on God, that outreach is supposed to be a lifestyle, not just a 2 week trip. It's easier said than done though. I still make time for God, but it's not like what it was in Cuba, where every single day and every event was focused on Him.
The trip taught me that nothing else really matters but God, my family, my friends, love.
Patrick, I wish you could have experienced what I experienced on the trip, because it was definitely life-changing.
