Homesick

I was reminded of this song on Tuesday, and I'm so grateful for that reminder...it sums up perfectly how I feel. I know without a doubt that Ariella is in a better place, and while I rejoice over that, I grieve that I'm not with her. I'm homesick.

Homesick - MercyMe

You're in a better place, I've heard a thousand times

And at least a thousand times I've rejoiced for you

But the reason why I'm broken, the reason why I cry

Is how long must I wait to be with you again?

I close my eyes and I see your face

If home's where my heart is, then I'm out of place

Lord won't You give me strength to make it through somehow?

I've never been more homesick than now

Help me Lord because I don't understand Your ways

The reason why I wonder if I'll ever know

But even if You showed me, the hurt would be the same

Cause I'm still here, so far away from home

I close my eyes and I see your face

If home's where my heart is, then I'm out of place

Lord won't You give me strength to make it through somehow?

I've never been more homesick than now

In Christ, there are no goodbyes

In Christ, there is no end

So I'll hold onto Jesus with all that I have

To see you again

To see you again

I can't wait to see you again Ariella Jade...
