Space. What is your heart longing for? Do you need a friend to sit with you and ask you a bunch of probing questions? Would you rather get away for a couple of days to sit, journal, pray, go for a long walk, and process things on your own? There will be times that you will want to be in community and times where you will long for solitude. Ask yourself , how much space you need. Do I need to move toward a friend or two and give them a list of questions to ask me? Is your life so busy now that you have returned, that you have no time or space to reflect? Find the space you need to process what is going on internally, or your heart will begin to leak in ways difficult to manage.
