It is hard to believe that I have been back in Chicago for 6 weeks. Time was hard in Istanbul being so far from everyone, but being here makes me miss Istanbul. I feel like life is always like this. A constant longing to be everywhere other than where you are.
Avat and I have been chatting, emailing, calling, skyping this entire time. People warned me how hard long distance relationships are and I thought I would be able to handle it but boy was I not in store for everything we would go through apart. God has been faithful and here in the midst of it all but it is such a challenge.
Now we are waiting. Waiting to get his visa to come here. Waiting to be together again. Waiting for me to get a real teaching job, thankful for subbing though. Waiting for the UN to help him out of his horrible situation there.
Waiting on God has it's reward. Can't wait to see what and how He gets Avat here and how He does it. It is all in his hands.
