I miss these faces from home!

Today I really miss being home with my family. I had a huge math test today and stayed up really late to study for it. But in the middle of my studying I had this driving urge to go for a walk.  So I grabbed my Bible and walked over to one of my favorite buildings here at school.  I sat down at the bench and started to pray, "God, this is crazy its 1 in the morning I really need to study more for my test, why the heck am I out here?!" I read Galatians 2:20 and 6:7-10, they both talked about God's love for us and having faith in Him through all things.  6:9 Says, "And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart."  I feel like I have been losing heart a lot lately about everything.  I know I shouldn't be because I do trust in the Lord and want His will, yet I feel things are just stuck or frozen in time, nothing is really going anywhere.  

I guess it just boils down to faith and experience in God.  I don't want to lose heart, I want to be strong and keep my head up even when things feel impossible to bear.  

In times like this I really miss home and things that are familiar. On a happy and random note, today in my bowling class I bowled a 107! That is huge for me.  And my math test went O.K., I was the last one to finish which always worries me a bit, but I did my best :)  Please be praying that God gives me extra strength to get me to Thanksgiving break!
