Alien among earthlings?

Have you ever felt like an alien among earthlings?  Like you wish you could just make everything go in slow motion so you could actually analyze each person walking by you one by one, because you are absolutely positive that the mother ship dropped you off at the wrong location?

I have.  Today.

After being away for a good three weeks getting married, honeymooning and all that good stuff, I'm back to the grind.  Even though I'm grateful to be on the grind I really wondered about it all today.  I felt removed.  Like a had a different perspective and just didn't belong.  Not like I was better than them, but just different. A foreigner.

Days like this I can only hold on to the belief that everything works for good for those who love Him and that not even a leaf falls from the tree unless He says so.

I'm on the grind because He wants me in it.  For whatever short or long season, being the alien among earthlings is exactly the bootcamp training I need to truly be a light in the darkness.

So until I get my transfer... I'll be here watching in slow motion and smiling because I know for certain this is just a layover on the greater journey that's my life.

Peace,
Milca
