47. When You've Changed, and There's Tension

It's the hallmark phrase after a mission trip. "Meeting this person changed me." "Seeing the other side of the world made me reexamine my life." Or "I can't think about this or see this the same way again" You've felt it. I've felt it. I think it hits another level for us as we live overseas long-term. When we make our homes in another country, and we become with another culture, it gives us a perspective shift. We don't see things the same way. It's good. Beautiful. Necessary. Holy. And really hard.
