Familiar Faces

Well, day 2 of my college experience has been pretty good as of yet. I was feeling pretty homesick last night after I got back to my dorm, and it was tough going to sleep without the comfort of my own home, my own bed, my lamp and my fan, etc. But today, while a lot of it was tough, (I spent the morning in my room until like, 1:30), I talked to a few people from home. I really miss home. It feels a little like a part of me is lost, but talking to my old friends just really calmed me down, and comforted me. It was nice to talk to people who know the same people I do, who know the same restaurants and stores. And it really came right when I needed it. It started when I saw a guy I haven't been friends with since sophomore year. We didn't talk or anything, but when he saw me, his face lit up and he waved. It was just nice to know that seeing me meant just as much to him as seeing him meant to me. Then I saw one of my really good friends from high school, and she came over and talked to me, and it was just nice to see someone who I know really well and love dearly. It was really comforting to me. I didn't know how homesick I was until I talked to her about home. And then I saw a guy I'd never been close with, but I'd always been friends with, and I walked with him back to his dorm. We talked about all kinds of things, but the familiarity was just so comforting. I prayed this morning, or maybe last night, that God would comfort me, and give me peace, and I firmly believe that that's exactly what He did for me tonight. It's so awesome to see how God answers prayers!! He truly is a Wonderful God!!
