Homesickness and Perseverance

Halfway through gap year and the home sickness has hit! Going through Christmas and New Years away from family and friends for the first time was pretty tough for me. However, being surrounded by so many other people going through the same wave of emotions was uplifting. Unfortunately, being gone from home doesn’t just stink through the holidays.

Over the month of January, I truly had to rely on God to comfort me through His Word, prayer, and His will to see all nations come together for His glory. Even through the couple of times that I was sick/hurt my ankle, which prevented me from going out for a few days, the Lord was still providing me with the strength to persevere through all of my hardships.
