back to the 'real' world

I'll be posting my Haiti update after I've had a little more time to process what happened during the trip, but right now I'm definitely struggling with the transition back to the 'real' world.  It scares me that the world I live in, is so completely different than the world I just came from.  It also scares me how much I desired to get back to this 'real' world with warm showers and mosquito-free rooms: the more comfortable life.  Could I do long-term missions in a similar setting; could I let go of these comforts?

Jaeson Ma (jaesonma.com/refocus), in a blog entry about refocusing in 2010, asks the question, "Do I look like Him?"  Jesus is the ultimate example; He was willing to let go of every comfort, and even life itself for our sake.  Can I let go of everything for Him? Do I look like Him?
