Even though sometimes it is a time-sucker, it has sustained me this last week. All of the fb messages, emails, and Skype calls really make living on the other side of the world from family and friends bearable. If I'm honest with myself, I have cried myself to sleep at least one night this week (let's assume jet-lag had something to do with it) because I miss familiarity with people. I've become very comfortable in my Western bubble in the last few years surrounded by family and friends. I'm praying God pops that bubble (as gently as possible) and leads me one step closer towards His heart for the Muslim world.
But along the way, I will be grateful for situations like the joint birthday song my family sang to my Grandmother and I from halfway around the world :)
We loved being able to see and talk with you! The best part was singing Happy Birthday to you! Love you Bunches!!!
