homecoming

Man, I didn't think it would be so hard to leave! This is my last night here in Singapore - it's 2:36am and I'm sitting here writing letters, and wishing that I didn't have to be apart from some of these who are dearest to me! It's funny how after four years in Sydney, I really don't know what to call home anymore...whenever I fly back and forth, which place am I really going 'back' to? Wherever I'm at, I always find myself missing the other place and the other people......*sigh* maybe what I need is just to settle into my routine for the year. Though I guess if I think about it, home is heaven, and my body is just a tent that moves between trailer parks. What I'm really yearning for is God's kingdom, and when I get there, I definitely won't be missing any other place!

Ok...is all this thinking going to make it easier to leave tomorrow? I don't know why I'm so blessed this time, but a whole bunch of people are coming to see me off at the airport - what have I ever done to deserve friends who want to go out of their way for me? Beats me....but thank You God!
