Today will be a short post.
Quite frankly I am exhausted. Not just physically, but mentally and emotionally. It has been a hard day for me.. I am homesick.
When I say homesick I'm not talking about the place - I'd take the sunny blue skies of Spain over the rain clouds and current floods in the Willamette Valley any day. What I am homesick for is the people whom I miss so dearly - my closest friends, my family, and of course my dearest 'Rambo' most of all.
Today was the first day since my tearful goodbyes in the airport that I have missed them so much that I cried.I cried not so much for the time I have spent here - I have on;y been here a few weeks - but I cried knowing that it will be another 5 1/2 months before I can see them again, hug them, have them near me.
I'm praying God will give me the strength and comfort I need to focus on my purpose here and now, instead of pining away for the people I love and miss dearly.
I am grateful for my wonderful, supporting roommates, and their comforting hugs today when I broke down. They truly are a blessing in this new experience. I had never been away from home long enough to experience true homesickness before now. I am glad God has placed the right people in my life to help me through it.
That's all for tonight.
