It's raining, it's pouring.

Yesterday's weather was great. Sun was shining, birds were chirping, little yachts were buzzing around the lake, children playing. It didn't seem fair. Here's the view from out the front. Pretty amazing.




Today it's all rain and thunder (and lightning of course), no one's playing, everyone's inside, not many signs of life..


I know your temperament can be changed by the weather (eg, look at the suicide rates in those countries with few daylight hours), but I sometimes wonder if the weather change is just God agreeing with me.. I mope, He mopes with me.

This last 7 days has been pretty tough. Gone to bed crying 5 out of 6 nights. I'm sick of it. The most homesick I've been before but in a different way. I'm happy to reside in a different country for a time - I am not complaining as He's blessed my socks off. And I do love God and He is all I need. But sometimes I just want the comfort of time with my Mellie, my Andrea, my Loulou. Just chilled out times where I can just cry and not have to explain why. I don't have to be embarrassed when my nose goes red from crying. As Mel's said, it's time for a good dose of a box of kleenex and a block of black forest (can't wait to see you..).

Sorry if this seems like a poor me. I know others have these times, so just showing I can relate :)

It's ok chickie. It's weird you say that you feel that way in Europe, I felt exactly the same, like within a week of my arrival in Europe, I was a total mess (in Paris to be exact). I think it's the fact that I couldn't speak the language...made life so difficult and that I missed home.

I cried many tears at the river (how ironic!) in Paris...some how, being away from home here in Singapore isn't as bad (I guess because I'm married!)...but there's still...nothing...like...home....

Keep up the conversation with God as He gives us the patience and He is the one who shows us the importance of appreciation. You're in a beautiful place, take it in...and have a your cake while your at it!
