Let's Talk over Coffee....

Name:
Location: Northwest Georgia, United States

I am 36 years old. Happily married in 2000 to a wonderful man who I met on the internet. :o) I have a step-daughter who is soon to be married. I moved from Indiana to Georgia in 2000, talk about your culture shock! I'm by no means perfect, but I am striving to be the woman God would have me to be. Proverbs 31 is my goal, but I am still a work in progress.

    *Sigh*

    I've been feeling really homesick recently. I think Mother's Day did it. I miss my mom. I know things have been kinda tough on her lately and I hate that I couldn't be there. Talking on the phone just isn't enough sometimes. I miss my nephew who is now 9. I hate it that he's growing up without me, doing things that I want to be a part of but can't. My mom talks about his baseball games and it just about breaks my heart that I have never been able to go to a single one. I miss my neice who is now 4. She wasn't even born when I got married, but she does know her Uncle Buzz and Aunt Chrisi. The first thing she usually says is, "Are you gonna come see me in a little bit?", or something like that. Then I have to explain to her that I'm in Georgia. I know that she knows who I am because every time I talk to her on the phone she tells me to bring her Easter Egg Gum next time we come up. Last year they came up around Easter, and I gave her a little carton that had egg shaped gum in it. When they returned to Indiana, the gum was left behind by accident. Every time she talks to me she reminds me to bring it next time we come to visit. She asked me about it again yesterday. I bought some fresh gum that I told her I would send her in the mail. She too is growing up without me.

    I don't regret the choice I made to move down here and marry my wonderful hubby. It was my choice and I'd do it again even if I knew how hard it would be. I guess I just wish I could have it all.

    God always knows precisely when you need something. I guess the card truly did come at a good time.

    Like one of the characters on Veggietales' Lord of the Beans says: I'm not late. I arrive precisely when I intend to. (or something like that! LOL)

    HUGGERS!
     
    I needed it more than you know. :o) Amazing how God works isn't it. Little things mean so much more when God prompts the sender.

    LOL, I love it, quoting Veggie Tales! I love Veggie Tales!
     
    Oh Boy do I know what you mean.
     
    I've been in your situation as you know. It's awful not being around your family, and I wish I had some great words of wisdom for you. I just hope you get to go home one day. Even though I'd miss you very much, I know "there's no place like home."
