My surroundings are once again familiar, but I am not. It feels a bit surreal to be back in California because I am not entirely sure who returned! It feels that much has changed inside of me, and being back home seems to have made it even more obvious.
Of course, some of this may also be related to the fact that a bunch of me is still somewhere between South Africa and here. My body seems to be present, but I make no promises about my brain. I spent way too many hours on airplanes and in airports and promptly used up what little brain I had left by going into the office today. I am sure the rest will catch up eventually.
I believe the last blog I wrote was shortly after I arrived back in Pretoria. I had three events left, one of which was the second presentation of “Anchored in Time”. We decided to address the spiritual dynamics of the city directly and I invited everyone to join me in getting past the confines of the soul and to listen with their spirits. There was a noticeable positive shift from the night before, and I hope we made a good impact on the land as well. One of the special stories from the “Anchored” seminar in Pretoria was a mother who found some answers for her young daughters. They had experienced the death of their sister and she realized that this concept of missing “blocks” from our lives was exactly what was happening and she knew how to go forward with helping them heal – not to mention for her own process. This story I will cherish. I love helping adults, but the sooner we can learn and heal, the better off we are. What a joy to be able to help those young girls now instead of 40 years from now.
Looking back on the two presentations of this key material, I feel that God is pleased with the beginning. There will be considerable growth and improvement to come, I am sure, but the first fruits was beyond my expectations. I am so grateful to Him for the grace and the fluidity He gave me to teach.
The final presentation I gave in South Africa was at a special dinner we arranged for me to share some things from my own life story. I shared some about the process of discovering and unpacking my design, as well as some of the lessons God has taught me about living with tension. His very nature presents us with many concepts and experiences too big for us to understand.
His love is sometimes the hardest of all.
There is much for me to unpack from the trip. In the midst of all the countless duties of settling back into this life, I will be savoring and celebrating the many amazing facets of my time in South Africa. When I got back to my desk at home, I noticed that my calendar still showed August. It is a strange to feel like I am coming back to a world that stopped moving when I left, yet nothing is the same because I am not.
Thank you to everyone who followed along as I traveled, for those who gave encouraging comments, and especially for those who joined us in prayer. I know that your prayers had an impact, and I thank you for your investment in the Kingdom through me. I know there has been considerable fruit in my life, not to mention in the lives of those in the nation and the land itself. I look forward to unpacking these treasures and sharing more as the story unfolds.
Meanwhile, I will soon shut down this blog and will resume writing in my main blog as other thoughts and events appear.
And for anyone who is curious, all my fish were alive to greet me!
HI Megan,
Thank you once again for everything, I do hope we will see you again 😉

Dear Megan, I hope the blog is still active as I am typing this 🙂
May your pirit soon catch up with your body and I am glad to hear that your travelling went smooth and that your fishes are still alive!
It really was such a privilege to attend your seminars, especially the anchored in time and I know I still definitely have to add back some blocks and hopefully soon.
May you be blessed without measure, I know you will be.
Your gentle demeanour really blessed me very much and I really hope you do not forget SA too soon.
Peace and Joy

Dear Megan, thank you so much for teaching and equipping us. When I returned home on Saturday afternoon, I felt like my body was home but I was not. The tools you imparted to us are immense. I will be unpacking this teaching for a while, I now know the way forward and how to complete my healing process. I am privileged to have been able to sit at your feet and learn from you. I was not able to attend the dinner but so wish I had been there to hear your life story and how you live with the tension. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ.
Sooo glad you’re back safely, and glad you mentioned “the fish” I did wonder 🙂 It is not only you who will never be the same, along with others who attended the teachings, I will never be the same again. Thank-you for taking the time to Bless Africa with your presence and your insight into walking with God in a different way.
Dear Megan,
I can readily identify with what you wrote about how you feel on returning home to California, as I am experiencing similar things. Coming home to Australia from California seems surreal. It is like I was living a dream when I was in the USA, but now I’m back to reality. Thank you for sharing God’s goodness to you in the time you were there so that I can rejoice in God with you.
Can you tell me how I access your normal blog, as I would like to.
Blessings, Ronald
