It's Friday and I'm In Love

Not really, but that song keeps running through my mind. It is a Wednesday/Friday afternoon here and we just finished another week of school and a staff meeting to boot! Now there's only one more full week to go!

So is it bad that in the midst of these final days, I'm longing to be back in the States? And maybe it's not so much to be in the States, but the benefits that can be found there.

Right now I'm really missing my friends from home...people who know me deeply and love me inspite of myself. People who I can be real with...laugh with...cry with (although you know I don't like to do that!)...be silent with...and chill with.

I'm missing my freedoms...to walk around without my head uncovered...wearing short sleeves...flip-flops. I want to go out to eat...ride my bike...play tennis...sleep in...lay out...watch a movie...eat Starbucks' Java Chip ice cream.

I know all these things are coming soon, and I'm sure when I finally reach that place, I'll wonder how the time passed so quickly. But right now, I'm feeling a little bit sad and I thought maybe verbalizing these thoughts via this blog might help me in some small way. I know I'm looking for consolation in the wrong place...I should go pray instead.

I agree with Vickie. You remind me to be grateful for what I have, which is way more than I need. He really takes care of us, doesn't He?
