Life on home assignment is all about connecting, and reconnecting.
It's about hope.
It is about people you love and people your going to know.
It is about time and the lack of it.
It's about eating and eating some more.
It's about gaining weight.
It's about saying hello.
It's about meetings and more meetings.
It's about say good-bye.
It's about older parents and their health.
It's about the two years that have gone by and how big every one's kids will be in two more.
It's about emotions that swing from extreme to extreme.
It's about not getting to sleep.
It's about being wiped out.
It's about getting fired up.
It's about fear of what you haven't done, or what opportunity you might have missed.
It's about getting over it.
It's about surprises that you didn't expect. (Both good and bad ones)
It's about the kids being done with it all.
It's about you being over it.
It's about God being faithful when your done with it.
It's about prayer.
It's about vision.
It's about listening.
It's about a fresh wind and a fresh fire.
It's about getting excited again about what God has you doing.
It's about 'Starbucks'. (Oh don't roll your eye's. So I like 'Starbucks')
It's about trying to finding some time with God.
It's about the power of a believing community.
It's about changing your expectations and getting new ones.
It's about living in need.
It's about living in suitcases.
It's about living now.
It's about have more than you need.
It's about missing the dog back home.
It's about calling your host country your home.
It's about asking people to give.
It's about being humble as you receive.
It's about...

It's about fun and laughter and praying for a friend in need.
We are so thankful for the time we had with you all.
This is really good stuff. They should use this in the Field Orientation manuals. For rizzle.
p.s. I'm coming to Portugal on Sunday. When will you come home?
I remember you guys from two or so years ago as you helped get "Resonate" up and going at Emmanuel Faith. I remember occasionally greeting with you and your prayer corner in the back of the chapel. I remember when you left for Portugal and I was excited to actually have met people who were eager to bring news of a relationship with God to people who hadn't heard.
Now a few of my friends are going to Portugal on a short-term missions trip with you guys. I heard you up on stage a few weekends ago-on "home assignment". It was good to hear from you guys, even if it was brief :)
I'm excited to hear what God is doing through you guys. I'm excited to hear what my friends will learn as they go and serve in Portugal with you in a few weeks!
it's about getting your short-term team all excited about what God will do with them in a couple weeks :)
