Homesick!

I was stuck by the homesickness bug just before Christmas and it has held on! The homesickness flu has been reaching septic levels ever since I came home from a family wedding in Mexico a week ago. Yesterday I came home feeling a little overwhelmed with how confused I am with work, I was tired after a long day, and was (in total) feeling more than a little discouarged when I heard this song in my mind:

Here I am, Lord

I, the Lord of sea and sky,
I have heard my people cry.
All who dwell in dark and sin,
My hand will save.

Chorus

Here am I, Lord. Is it I, Lord?
I have heard you calling in the night.
I will go, Lord, if you lead me.
I will hold your people in my heart.

I, who made the stars of night,
I will make their darkness bright.
Who will bear my light to them?
Whom shall I send?

I, the Lord of snow and rain,
I have borne my people’s pain.
I have wept for love of them.
They turn away.

I will break their hearts of stone,
Give them hearts for love alone.
I will speak my words to them.
Whom shall I send?

Here's a pretty cute video of a girl singing the song:

This song has always been really special to me. When I was younger and wanted to volunteer this song was always like my theme song - my telling God that I wanted to go - and he just had to send me! Now, here I am - volunteering - and totally bummed out. This song started playing in my mind, and once I recognized it, it instantly gave me a wave of peace.

A simple reminder from a higher power that I am right where I asked to be.
