Missing Friends

You know as much as I love having Facebook and Myspace, it has actually made me homesick the last few days. I don't usually get homesick. However, in the last few months many of my good friends and many people that I grew up with have gone and gotten married and I have been forced to miss it. I hate missing these events. It has made me feel as though I am missing out on great things. I may be serving this great country and I may be traveling the world, doing things most people only dream of doing, but its the things at home that may some of the greatest of all.

Don't think that I am wanting to get married any time soon or move on to another line of work, but sometimes I do miss being near friends and family. Facebook has brought me back in touch with many people and being over here I can't do anything but have wall to wall conversations. That's not in the cards right now. I love what I do, but sometimes I just wish I could go home.

2 Timothy 4.7: I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.

If I can live my life and at the end be able to say this with confidence, it is a life well-lived. May God bless us all with that privilege.

I think you are doing what you need to do at this point in your life. I for one, am very, very proud of you. People will always appear to be happy and leading the life you would like. It's fine to ponder such green pastures but at the end of the day of the day we must be true to what our calling is. Press and never regret--the decision was the right one for you at the time you made it. We all miss you, Becky!
