Loneliness can't stand a chance

my mom in her very first visit to the States (Nov 2010)

It was kinda a rough weekend

It's specially on Sundays when it hits me

As many of you know, I'm from Argentina

All my family and friends are there

Most of my life's memories are there

Childhood friends, high school friends, church friends

Everything

One of my favorite memories is our family get togethers on Sundays

My brother would be in charge of grilling some awesome meat 

while the rest of us would be playing cards, laughing and being funny

We've been here in the States for almost three years

I thought at some point it would get easier

But I came to the realization that it doesn't

I miss my momma, my sister and brothers

I miss my 7 nephews and nieces

Uncles, aunts, cousins that have been my best friends 

That's when loneliness tries to hit hard

(It's always funny to see how you can be surrounded by people and still feel lonely)

But all it takes is to look up

To remember those words that are sweeter than honey

that whisper in our ear

" I'll never leave you, nor forsake you...

 And remember that I am always with you until the end of time."

Loneliness can't stand the power of those words

It cant stand the power of Love

All of a sudden I realize

that I've never been alone

Because Your Presence has never left me

Even when I let go

You never let go of me

So today I can, once again say

I'm AT HOME

I'm where I'm meant to be

because Home is wherever You are

and You're right here with me

That's when I look around again, and this time I can see

the amazing people that surround me

This is when the well from within starts flowing with living waters of 

joy, peace, love

and I can rest

and I can smile real big

and I can trust

I can laugh

I can be thankful

and I can sing

Here's the Lyrics of one of my favorite songs by Kristene Mueller "Trust"... Enjoy!

It's the sweetest thing
To trust you
Just to know
You got everything under control

It's the sweetest thing
To trust you
Just to know
You got everything

And You are making me a mountain
Making me a mountain
That cannot be shaken

Well You are making me a mountain
Making me a mountain
That cannot be moved

High up on a rock
Looking out at the horizon
Watching as the storm rolls in
Wondering if my heart will survive it

As the waves crash all around me
And can't remember what it feels like to be free

I know You're making me a mountain
Making me a mountain
That cannot be shaken

Oh You are making me a mountain
Making me a mountain
That cannot be moved

You say, I've got you my baby
I've got you
It's quite the mess you're in
But it's nothing Love can't fix

So sit here upon my shoulders
And watch as it all unwinds

Have  a lovely Monday, my friends!!! =D
