Missing home...

I cannot lie. I miss home alot. It's been fun here and I love Mike, Dani and their girls. But I miss my family. I miss sitting and watching movies with my sisters. I miss making cookies and brownies with my mom. I miss sitting and watching Doctor Who with my dad. I just miss home.

It's hard to believe that it's been almost two weeks already since I got here. And in just a few days another team of gringos will be here. I know that that'll keep me busy for the next week. But then once they leave things will settle down and I'll get into a routine. But then that routine has to get me by and keep me busy enough to make time go by quickly til I can go home.

I don't want to wish away my time here because I know that God has a reason for bringing me here. And that I have work to be done and things to learn. But it's hard. I miss home. And I still have a long time before I can be there with my family again.

Pray hard that I can enjoy and appreciate my time here instead of wishing it away. Pray that I remember just how loved I am by my family back home. Pray that I can find comfort and love in the arms of the God I serve when all I want is a hug from my parents. Pray that I don't feel alone and remember that I have a reason for being here.
