We just got home from Florida. Vince spoke at Summit Church in Orlando. They graciously invited and paid for me and the kids to come along. We had a great weekend. As we arrived back in Vegas I wondered if I would finally feel like I was returning home. Unfortunately, I didn't. We've been here 11 months and I still can't wrap my head around the fact that I live here.
The majority of people who move to Vegas are either running from something or want a fresh start. Most of them are working to pay off debt and plan on leaving as soon as their mission is accomplished. I've only met a few people who actually like living here and have no desire to leave.
So here's what I finally figured out...God can use my feelings about this city to help me relate to other people. When I talk to people who are really disappointed with their lives here...I can relate. When I meet a mom who hates the fact that she's raising a family here...I can relate. When I talk to someone who is homesick and wants to leave the "staleness" of this city...I can relate.
Relating to people and understanding how they feel is so important; it's what Jesus did!
