Where am I/should be?

I find myself with a dilemma I face quite often. It seems that every time I go to a new place/transition/move I'm always wishing I was where I just was. There have been times I've come to school and inside I wished I was still at home. The reverse has been true as well, wishing I was still at school. When I went to Texas, I wished I was still at home for 3-4 weeks. And now that I'm back at school I desparately want to be back down in Texas.

I cannot figure out if this is a good thing or not. On one hand, my desire to be wherever I just was shows that I've done a good job building relationships and have established deep bonds. On the other hand, my wishing to be somewhere else causes me to miss out on what is going on right here in front of me.

I think this feeling is somewhat natural, but at the same time I do not want to miss out on the opportunities that are right in front of my face. Honestly, I do not want to be at school right now. My mind is still in Texas, I miss the church, my co-workers, and the Selinger's and I've only spent six days at home in the past three months. School is the last place I want to be. But I have responsibility here...

I agree with Pick. Your feelings are natural. Ultimately I think that everyone gets comfortable and then when things change they are taken out of that comfort zone and want it back. Eventually when school is done and all the rustle/bustle is done you will settle down at a job and hopefully things won't change for a while. I know how you feel man! It is just where we are in life right now. This is a transition period in our life and we have to stick close to God and follow what he has in store for us, not what the world has in store. It will all pan out just trust in the lord! I'm glad Texas was awesome for you!
