Missing home

I am sitting here at the computer. It is quiet in the house. Gerald went to prayer meeting and the kids are sleeping (I think). I am full of emotions tonight. The tears are flowing. I miss home. I miss the familiar. I miss knowing what I am suppose to be doing. I miss my kitchen. Those who know me well know I love to be in the kitchen. And then I feel silly - we have only been gone two weeks. The kids are doing amazing. After school they keep themselves busy with all sorts of activities. I haven't heard "I miss home" from them since the first day we arrived.

It was a busy day. Gerald was having a meeting in the morning here at the house so I cleaned up the living room before we started school. By the time I finished school, lunch dishes and two loads of laundry it was 3:00pm. It seems everything takes longer to accomplish!

I have total peace that this is where God wants us to be right now. But, I am also reminded that it is an adjustment and some days are challenging. Today was that kind of day for me. I am sure that a good night sleep and God's grace poured out on me will help the morning to look brighter.
