In Tears
I cry for lost dreams. I cry for failing friendships. I cry most of all for a nation whose heart is far from God.
In a land where the stars are scarce and the sun can still be seen at 7pm, I find myself wondering how I can survive ten months of isolation from my children. I have found new friends here and have even come to love my students, yet, there is an emptiness and isolation that can never be filled in my heart. There is really no place like home.
Though technology has bridged the communication gap in terms of instantaneous messaging, it has not lessened my need for human touch. I miss my children and it hurts to be so far away from them. Yet in my heart, I also know that I am here for a higher calling, than just earning more and being a blessing to so many others.
"God's grace is sufficient for his power is made perfect in weakness!"
