"I just have this feeling in my heart: Laura will be home for Christmas."
Those were my mother's word's on Saturday. Today is Wednesday, and as of a few hours ago, I have a plane ticket and the allotted vacation days to be home for two weeks! I think I am still in shock! In two days I will be on a plane, headed to the southern hemisphere and to those volcanoes and my family's smiles.
I confess that I want to be the kid again; to put the world of grown-up education and work issues on the shelf for even a moment. I want to get renewed perspective and be somewhere familiar and warm, surrounded by those that are dearest to me on this planet. I want to rest. I want to eat pinchos from the street stand. I want to hear the waves of the Pacific wash up on shore and the pelting of jungle rain on a tin roof. I want to see my sister laugh.
God heard the desires of my heart even when I dared not voice them. So what can I say, I am in awe yet again--thankful and humbled by his personal care of me.
I'm going HOME!!!!!

Pero hay momentos como este en el que puedes sólo detenerte, contemplar y disfrutar...

I hadn't read blogs in a while but I'm so happy you got to go home! I'll admit an ache formed in my heart as you mentioned pinchos, the Pacific, and rain. I've been missing Ecuador more lately. I'm glad you had the pleasure of family and our shared homeland. :)
