i'm trying to decide what exactly it is i feel right now.
some might say homesickness. others may say food poisoning. some may even blame the stomach pains i've been having on the amount of tea i've been drinking every day.
to be honest, i think it's a pretty gnarly combo of all three. add in the fact that i'm not sleeping well and i think we may have our answer. i've been sick to the stomach for 2 weeks straight now. i never feel better. sometimes i feel worse. but i always feel sick.
and i'm so over it. i don't want to feel like this anymore. so, i'm cutting out the caffiene. and i'll try to get more sleep. but since those are the only 2 i really have control over, i'm leaving the rest up to God.
and while we're on the topic, i am homesick. desperately homesick. i miss everything. and i'm having a hard time being joyful about being here. i know it's only been a month, and i've got way too long to be feeling like this. i know. i also know that i can't do this without Christ, or my family, friends and loved ones support. so if you take the time to read this blog, would you do me a favor and send up a quick prayer for me? not only that i would be freed from the homesick feelings, but also that i would find some joy here. some real, God focused joy. and maybe some peace about being here wouldn't be such a bad thing either. that way, i can look at the next 7 months as an adventure rather than a sentence.
thanks my loves. i really do love you all. please don't ever question that. don't ever doubt it. if there's one thing (and trust me, there've been plenty) that God is trying to teach me, it's not to take for granted those i love and that love me in return. because love is what makes the world turn. and without love, i am nothing.

Father God, I lift up my beautiful friend, Kelly, to you. You are her rock, her source of comfort, strength, wisdom, and peace. Right now she needs some peace. You have directed her path to this place. You continue to mold her and shape her to be like your son. Help her to find comfort in the example she sets for you. Help her to find joy in the place you have put her in. Heal her of your pains no matter where they have come from. Most of all, Father, help her to find peace. With your love and our prayers, I know she'll get there. Just help her to get there sooner rather than later. Thank you, Father! In the name of the precious gift of your Son, Amen.
There, Kelly, will that do? Love you! :)
