Homesick...

It's been three weeks. Only three weeks. But it feels like it's been forever since I've been in Africa. Man, I miss it so much. Don't get me wrong, life here has been an easy transition and I almost am content being here. But then when I think about it, I miss Africa so much. I feel incredibly homesick. "What? But you live in the USA, Joanna. How could you be homesick when you're home?" you might ask? Good question. I know that technically it doesn't make sense. And technically I should be glad to be home. But really, Africa felt more like home then anywhere else ever has. When I've been there, I have been the happiest I've ever been, I've been at peace, I've been growing. So I'm homesick because God has ordained me to live outside of the US, in Africa...somewhere. For now, I'm going to press towards the goal of Rwanda. If God chooses to move me elsewhere, awesome, I'll serve Him there.

But right now, even in my state of being homesick, I know He's ordained me to be here right now. But it's hard because really, there is nothing holding me down here. But Joanna, don't get ahead of yourself! You are here for a reason, chill out. (Yes, I do reprimand myself often).

But those are my thoughts today...feeling homesick
