It's 3 a.m. and I can't sleep. (I feel like there's a 90's grunge song in there somewhere.) I went to bed at 12:30 last night and got up at 10, so I thought that I had beat the jet-lag demon. Apparently not.

I've been doing some seriously damaging introspection. That was no fun, so moved over to praying for all my problems. That did no good either, so I started praying for my friends. Good in theory, but it just made me miss you more. So here I am, writing to you instead.

I feel more homesick now than I ever did last year. I'm not sure why. I think all of the novelty has worn off and I'm just not as excited. I know how hard it is going to be.

Also, I had the most amazing summer. You have shown me more love than a girl can handle, and I miss that.

Really, I need more of Jesus with me right now. I need more of his love, and peace, and all that good stuff, and instead of asking for that, I'm whining to you.

So, Jesus, I need all that.

I love you friends, and Jesus, seriously.

I'll post more fun things when I feel more fun. Pictures will come, I promise. I took a tylenol pm and I'm hoping it will kick in soon.

erin, it was wonderful to see you the few times we were able. but i have to agree with sarah's comment above--you'll always be missed, but what you're doing is great work, and we're all very proud of you. i'll be sure to pray for you.

you are missed, sleep will come.

I learned today Christ will come to those who don't even ask for help. What father will give his child a stone when he ask for bread?

our father will draw near to you :)
