I went to Peru for third time in 2003 with only 2 other guys from my
church. I knew a group from colleyville was gonna be there again, and a
group from louisianna so i wasn't worried about not having people to
meet and hang out with, besides i also had lauren and the rest of the
missionaries so i was really excited. I met a ton of awesome people and
got to see old faces from previous years too. I could write stuff about
each person but that would take entirely too long. I have kept up with
some and lost touch with others, but 2 brothers I've stayed in touch
with...James and Chase. Chase, it was awesome to see ya again this year
buddy and i enjoyed hangin with for the month or so i was in peru this
year. And then is James. James was an encouragement to me from the
first time i met him. We were doing hard physical labor all week and he
never complained. All three our groups from each church worked well
together(for the most part :)) and we enjoyed each other. Then the last
day came and I was falling apart and crying at the drop of a pin like i
always do on the last day of Peru trips and James came up and told me
not to worry cuz we would see each other next year. It helped enough to
make me stop crying til it was time to say goodbye later that
day......I kept in touch by phone with James and had some awesome
conversations with him. It was the middle of school and he called me
one day and left me a message to say that he just wanted to say hey and
tell me he was praying for me....that message will forever be in my
memory. I called him back and left several messages, but he didn't call
back. That wasn't like James so i talked to Chase online about a week
later online....He told me that James had been in a car wreck and had
been killed.....I was devastated and I cried all night and the next day
at school and at every little thing that reminded me of him that next
week. I still cry sometimes when i think about my buddy, but I know I
will see him again one day in Heaven.
I really struggled and still do with God's will in
this and other situations when friends are taken home so early but God
is sovereign and He knows best and works everything out for His glory
and for our ultimate good. Anyway, tomorrow it's been one year since
James went home to be with our God and I just wanted to say that
I haven't forgotten you buddy and I'll love you forever and i can't
wait to see you again in heaven one day.
To the rest of my friends and family, I love ya'll
more than words can say and I'm sorry if I don't tell you enough or at
all. Also, I am thankful to my God for giving me the strength each day
to live on this earth and do the things He has for me to do.
God bless ya'll and I love you,
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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
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 cause 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 goodbye
And 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
And 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
Won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
Won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
I've never been more homesick than now
