Just got back from Chicago yesterday and it was quite a trip. Not that I did a whole lot because I don't think I actually did that much but it was a much needed homecoming. Since moving out to LA, this was my first time going back. Going through college I was like, I'm not home sick, my home in Diamond Bar is just a nice house that feels a little too much like a hotel. But what I didn't realize was that I was home sick... for chicagoland. Upon returning, I felt re-energized and it felt good being with people I grew up with in an area I grew up around. I was really glad to be "home"
Being there for a couple weeks, it felt almost like I'd never left. I was driving the same car I drove around when I did live there and I did about the same things that I'd normally do. Being able to spend that time with friends and family opened my eyes to the great community that I have in chicagoland and I'm so thankful that God has provided this community for me. But the time there also showed me that my time in Chicago is over. I don't live there anymore and although I have this community that I can readily go to anytime, my life is now predominantly at USC and in LA where God has also blessed me with great community. After the trip, I now feel closure by going "home" once again and getting ready to move on.
This brings me to 3 days before project starts. I'm more excited than ever, already seeing so much of God's faithfulness which I'll talk about later, and finding the closure in Chicago to be ready to live in the now for God.
