Oh the things I miss

Lately it seems that when I stand still... I think about all the things and people I'm missing back home. The Bible tells us that we NEED to be still and know that HE is God. So what should I do when my heart is heavy from missing things from back home? Ask the Lord for His help...because He told us to ask Him and also that He would not give us too much that we couldn't bear. This time apart will make our eventual time together sweeter. One doesn't really realize how much you miss something or someone until you can't have it. Okay, so here is what I'm missing in no particular order:

1.My family- shopping with my mom and sister, seeing and hugging nieces and nephews almost anytime I wanted. Having them so close.

2. Friends- especially my church friends. Especially my sweet friends Robin & Anita- no matter how many times we came back from the road, we could always pick up where we left off.

3. My automatic Ford Taurus- I haven't driven since AUgust of last year. I really hate... dislike learning to drive a manual vehicle.

4. Sunday School for ME- I'm wondering if I will ever understand enough Croatian to be fed.

5. Singing in English- I have forgotten alot of the Hymns in English or either mix up the verses.

Well, I could probably go on but I won't. I need to get busy with life here is Croatia. It really is nice here and God has been good. I know that our separation from America will only be for a little while. (:
