Homesick

Since I got here in January I’ve been reading the book Prodigal God, by Tim Keller, with Carol and the other intern girls, (which by the way, is the best Bible study EVER!!). The week we read about home and heaven and the Father’s feast was the same week, I’d found out about the tornados in Alabama, and had no idea how my family really was. We talked about how home wouldn’t be the same as when we’d left it, because it will never be what memories say it should be. We talked about how much we’ve changed, and how hard it was going to be going back. I suddenly realized that I was really homesick. But home wouldn’t be what it was, (not only will have been 6 months, but a lot of natural disasters have happened in those months). So I really wasn’t homesick for my home in America, but rather for my home in heaven and my family reunion that will happen then. Kind of a strange feeling, let me just say….
