Balance

We have been here 3 days now. I wish I could say I feel at home. I just don't feel balanced here. I just read in my devotions that God takes pleasure in Himself and enjoys His own perfection. (Attributes of God; Tozer). If this is where God wants me it is the perfect place for Rebecca and me. Perfect but unbalanced. Is that possible? Things are the same and things are different here:

• There are cars But they are all small
• There are roads But they are narrow and bumpy
• There are birds But they sing jungle songs
• There is electricity But it comes from a different jack
• There is speaking But I don’t understand it
• There are toilets But don’t put the paper down it
• There is water But you don’t drink it out of the tap
• There is money But it’s not easily recognizable
• There are homes But they are all behind walls and gates
• There are beds But they are not king size
• There are stores But I don’t know what’s in the packages
• There are floors But they are all tile
• There are stop signs But they are more of a suggestion
• There is milk But it comes in a unrefrigerated box
• There is fruit But the flavor is explosive
• There is God And He is loved and worshipped

I guess I need to focus on the unchanging God of the universe. The One who is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. The One who is the same in Kingsburg and Campinas. The One who is perfect here and there. The One who wants me here. I can find my balance there, with Him.
