Homesick for the First Time

I don't think I have ever experienced being homesick before. I never understood friends and family when they described how much they were ready to go back home. I love my friends and family, but my heart has never longed for a place before. Now it does, but it's not for Texas. Even though there are so many people here that I love, I know in my heart that Texas is no longer my home. Not really.

I now know that my home is wherever the Lord prepares a place for me. It's not just the people, or the landscape. There's something else that I cannot describe. Right now, I am becoming increasingly homesick for my home in England and my family there. I experienced healing and spiritual growth there in ways I had never before. And I know in my heart the Lord will grow and teach me more while I am there.

Watching this video, and seeing so many familiar faces brought a smile to my face. I eagerly wait to see my Harpenden family again -this time to work beside you in ministry.
