I don't feel that anything is missing from my life. But tonight I am missing some people and things. I know this is very normal, and I don't really feel sad about it. I just feel that I need to express this and know it's ok.
I miss going to a store and being able to talk to people there without looking like a fool.
I miss having an oven.
I miss having access to a vehicle, not necessarily driving but the freedom that comes with a vehicle.
I miss Mexican food, this is not a good place to find it. Don't worry, I didn't expect that it would be.
I miss AC.
I miss the radio.
I miss Target. Silly, I know.
I miss Starbucks.
I miss the Public Library.
I miss friends. You know who you are.
I miss the ladies that knew me before Father changed my heart and I was not a nice person but they loved me then and I think they love me now that I'm different, even if we have differing views on things.
I miss the ladies that saw Father change my life and have been with me each step since then, good, bad and ugly.
I miss the one who was with me when I came to love this place, I think she loves it too.
I miss the one who understand all my food issues, struggles and battles. She is also the one who has helped me become the mommy I am today.
I miss the one that went through big life changes the same time I did: marriage, babies, moving from our comfort to where Father called us. She is oh so wise.
I miss the one that went through the long journey that brought us here at the same time. She's in a different part of the world but she understands what I go through each day. Bojangle's date in 3 -4 years?
I miss the one that I've only just met but understands my exact calling to this place and this people.
I miss the ones that I saw every Sunday in small group, if not more often, and called me out, loved me and encouraged me.
I miss so many more.
I love you all. I am so thankful for the friends that I have in each of you. I hope this didn't make you sad. I just feel so blessed and that makes me miss you. My home is open to anyone that wants to visit. :)

It is not silly that you miss Target! I know I would! I think I practically live there.
On a serious note, we all miss you, too. (And I think I might be one of the ladies you're referring to who knew you when you think you weren't nice. That's not true. You've always been nice, and you've always been a good friend. I love you!
I may have been nice to you ladies, but not always other people. :) But thank you.
we are missing you too.....but have all the object misses around us.....so it's not as fair to say that. I have tomorrow off...can I come play? i miss that the most. what a blessing to my heart this past year has been for me to see you soo much. i guess actually since kirbys birth..my jobs have been pretty conducive to that. love you. lifting you up daily.
I actually miss you more than I thought I would. I told myself "well, we mainly converse via internet, so it'll be the same" and somehow that is not the case at all. I have so much respect and admiration for you, on so many different levels and its hard knowing that you are 12 hours and a world away. Just know we are here, loving you and missing you and praying a Target with an Azteca next door will open near you soon!
Missing you too. We have got to figure out a time when we can talk. I miss Bojangles and Cook Out if that helps you out any. Although I know that is truly no comparison to what you go through. Thinking about you and love you too.
