weekend at home

it's surreal for me, an mk, to go "home" for the weekend. it's funny because i talked to one of my RAs on friday before leaving for "home" and told her about my plans... and she asked where "home" was for me, because obviously i couldn't fly to the philippines for the weekend... so i explained that "home" this year was Pasadena, since that's where my parents are living right now... but next year, "home" will change, because my parents will be back in the philippines... i guess "home" will be at some friend or relatives place. it won't be MY home per se, as in not really where my parents are which has always defined "home" in the past, but it will be a place of refuge and belonging away from school. i really don't know what God will have in place for me next year when i lack that nearness of "home," but I trust that he will provide someplace to be an escape for me.
