Homesick

It's been quite an emotional week for me.  I know that when we strive to do better it is there that the enemy attacks-so why do I fall for it every time? 

Since we moved to Maryland in October I have been enjoying it here and yes there have been times I have missed East Hampton, but it wasn't until this past week that I have felt homesick for our home and life we had there for the past nine years.

In a conversation with Maya I mentioned "this summer when we are on the beach..."and it hit me all of a sudden that I will not be right around the corner from the beach and it will not be our "all summer thing" to do.  It was kind of sad. 

I am a person who is use to being with people, yes I need "my time" but I like hanging out.  Its been quiet here and I have missed my friends and acquaintances from where I still call home. 

I have missed my best friend as the phone calls and texts are less and less and then today to top it all off while her baby was in the hospital, I wasn't able to be there for her physically.

Add all these emotions and not being able to talk them through with my mom and I am a bit crazy! 

I believe we are where we are meant to be.  I believe that I will go to the beach a few times this summer.  I believe that God has special friends for me here and I believe my mom is up there cheering me on.  It still makes for an emotional ride and I have to keep clinging to His promise for me-that He who began a good work in me will complete it-through my new lifestyle and through my new friends.  I just have to keep striving and be patient-that fruit we are learning next week!  BUT, what a coincidence this week we are talking about PEACE!
