I have had a song stuck in my head all day long. It's a Michelle Tumes song, "Christ of Hope." Considering how long it's been since I last listened to Michelle Tumes, I have no idea what put it into my head. Still, as I was thinking over the lyrics, I realized that this song puts to music my exact feelings regarding the friends and family I love whom I left behind back in the USA:
As I travel far from kinships
As I wander far from home
May He grace you with His favor
And breathe the fragrance of His love
May His angels watch and keep you
As you slumber through the night
The gentle hand of God will touch you
As He wakes you with the morning light
May He bring you hope
Hope you've never never known
May the Christ of hope
Embrace you evermore
I know the people most important to me read this blog regularly, so when all of you read this, this song is my wish for all of you. I have not yet been homesick over here, but that doesn't mean that I don't miss all of you. It's just inevitable when you love a lot of people that you'll always be missing someone. I feel very lucky to have so many people to miss at any given moment.
