Circumstances can have us feeling banished or separated from people, places, and jobs/work we know and love. How we forge a life under our new circumstances can indicate whether we are happy or miserable. Living in exile makes everything seem temporary (friends, work, school). We try not to engage or connect because our heart is somewhere else. What if God wants to do great things through us under our new normal? What if we accept it and flourish for the Kingdom, taking control of ending the exile feeling?
