Memorable 6 Months

I've been thinking a lot about home lately. Yes, I admit it's an obvious sign of homesickness. But who won't be homesick after staying home for 6 months straight after 7 years? Today, is only our 4th day here in Malaysia so, I guess that explains why my heart and mind is seeming left behind in the Philippines. When I go outside, I remember seeing the river and feeling the wind on my face. When I see some children playing, I remember Tricia and he cousins playing happily in our lanai.

Looking back at our last 6 months stay in the Philippines is indeed a blessing. We have a lot of memories left behind including the FLood. Though it might seem that the 'highlight' of our stay was the flood, but then it was through that experience where we have seen God's faithfulness in our lives. But setting the flood aside, the highlight of our stay was actually the precious time we spent with family back home. Even if we really didn't have a lot of activities and family trips together but just being with them chit chatting over meals, going out to the malls and even the silent times is just precious. I'm especially happy for my Li'l girl who has really maximized her time with her cousins. They played non stop, ate together, bathe together, laughed together and fought too! Now, I miss seeing her with her cousins and playing 'house house'. I'm thankful to God for allowing us to stay in the Philippines for a long time. I know, we'll have to wait for a long time ( 7 years!?) before this could happen again. I thank God for my precious family and friends back home. We love you and we will surely miss you!
