I get it. I understand why the Israelites wanted to go back to Egypt. When the future seems so hard and unknown, you forget the hard and bad of yesterday. All the potholes and black mambas and sickness and suffering seem a welcome reprieve to the unknown future. I wrote down a list of all the things I would not miss in Zambia. Government offices. Unjust police. Being white in a black land... All of it. Hard. But, it is so easy to forget all the hard when your future is unclear, when you feel like you are waiting in the desert, when you just want to go back to the comfortable. If you at all understand what I am saying, you've got to watch the music video... Amazing...I saw it during our missionary debriefing here in Colorado. I so get it.

Wow. Sara Groves is an amazing songwriter. What a way to put this experience into words and melody. This song really spoke to my experience leaving camp, and how I'm still feeling a bit lost about the future. Thanks for sharing.
