Coming Home

-waking up and realizing that outside it looks like a winter wonderland.... it was beautiful.

For the past two-and-a-half weeks, my Mom and I have been in British Columbia... it was beautiful. Those weeks were filled with mixed joy and pain... and countless lessons to learn. Through every trial and heartache... through every smile of happiness; I can say with a heart filled with thankfulness that God saw me through it all. Now, as I look back on that time, I can hardly believe how close He was. God worked so many miracles during those weeks, and He brought the issue of faith in my life to a new level. I just want to thank Him.... for His faithfulness, and simply: for everything.

Now for some pictures:


the Okanagan lake... it's huge. There is even a legend that an ancient sea monster, the Ogo-Pogo, resides in these waters. There have been recent sightings..... :)

Boats, and docks were a common sight.... at least for the Kalownians. For me... well, it was more like a rare treat.

I do realize that these pictures aren't the best quality since they were taken with my tiny camera, but they are the best I've got. :/

the leaves were spectacular!

During the flight home I got the best gift of all... flying over Seattle at night. It was absolutely breathtaking. I guess I'm just a night/big city/from an airplane, type girl. It was gorgeous. Stunning, and made my heart soar.
Here is a picture I found on the internet... sadly it's not taken from the sky, but it'll have to do.

and another one:

from here

I must say that I don't think I've ever been so homesick in my life... it's strange to think that one can be so surrounded by people and yet miss the people at home, and simply miss... home.

 

I kept listening to these two songs (below)... and thinking about every thing related with home.

Nothing can quite describe the feeling of homesickness, I don't believe, and yet, the same for coming home. home.

What can I say?

 

thank You, Jesus. For everything.
