Since moving to California back in the end of October, I have been 'homesick' so much. I'm not used to the way of life here in the bay area. It really has been a learning experience. I miss all things about back home. I realize I must choose to be content. It doesn't just happen. I need to decide to be content.
God has blessed us so much since we have been here. We have been able to visit many churches in the area & be blessed by them. I know that the Lord wants us here but I also know that it is not home. I need to make it home. That is where I struggle.
I was encouraged to read Psalms each day by a Godly lady. I began to read it & my heart was encouraged by the words. Some days it feels like a hug from God. Just what this lonely heart needs. I miss my family, my friends, my NY! God has sent me hope & hugs through his word. I have many days where I'm not feeling great but if I look back those are the days I missed reading the Bible. When we miss it shows. I'm not perfect. I let things distract me in the mornings. I need to make Bible reading top priority each morning. I need God. My family needs him. If I don't seek him how can j expect my family to?
