Homesick!

Well, I am one word.  HOMESICK.  The holidays flew past us this year as we were busy helping with outreaches. Praise God for the outreaches, but we were left so tired by the end/sick. New Years came and went too. I woke up to get bread out of the breadmaker on New Year's Eve, so I heard some fireworks, and also monk(s) chanting. Such a different world we are living in, sometimes I just want the comforts and people from back home.  I know that only God can keep us/sustain us here sometimes. When I'm left to my own feelings, it's easy to think that the grass is greener on the other side!
