Blessed

I am not typically a home sick person. 
On trips, I have never been the type to call my family and friends every day or cry myself to sleep because I missed them. 
I am still not that person. 

However, I do miss them more on this trip than I have before. 

That is why I am immensely blessed to have three awesome interns, three awesome brothers, and a mother and father figure to be my family and friends as I am away.
God knew what I would need, and He gave it to me. 
I have so much joy in laughing with them, encouraging them, and letting them encourage me!   

I am finding myself stepping out of my comfort zone and doing things I have never done before, and they are doing it right along with me in the name of Jesus. 
I am blessed.
