Yoked
I'm dealing with waves of homesickness. They usually come when my guard is down (in other words, not when I'm sleeping in on a lazy Sunday morning, or when I'm satisfied with circumstances).
There's no way for me to ward them off. In fact, I've been struggling with mini panic attacks for the last few years, and they seem to be manifesting themselves this way lately. I just get to missing my parents and my sister so much!
I was catching up on my voicemails today during my lunch break and heard one from my dad, and then my mom got on the phone and left her two cents. I just wanted so much to be there, cause I just miss them.
Here's the verse I leaned on for help:
Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. --Matthew 11:28-30

Krista, I understand the homesickness thing too. I try to fight by telling myself how cool Michigan isn't and remind myself of all of the dysfunction that would be waiting for me if I moved back.
It doesn't really work.
In fact, it delays the inevitable, a really, really, really bad bout with homesickness every time I have to leave Michigan in order to come back here.
I always struggle with reconciling life down here with life up there. There are aspects of both that I love.
If I could move everyone down here, then my problems would be solved.
Or maybe not. Yikes.
The Lord is sovereign over all, most definitely. He's got in planned and under control. We just have to believe Him and trust Him.
