Sometimes, Communication = Frustration

I'm sending this
letter to you in hopes that it finds you well;
I wanted to say I love
you and I miss you.
I pray that you sleep
well tonight, I hope you dream of me,
I'll write again
tomorrow... I'll be home soon.
I'm a million miles
away from you,
Can't get you off my
mind (not that I'm trying but)
All I want is to hold
you again.
Sleep well tonight.
Sleep Well Tonight - Spoken
longer I am here, the more and more difficult communication seems to
become. Even as I am typing this, the internet connection has died
twice, so I don't know if I'll actually be able to post this today
(Saturday).
everyone reading my blog, I know you were hoping and expecting some
sort of update from me about my week. I, in turn, was hoping and
expecting to be able to get in contact with you and ask about your
experience with missions. (Whenever this gets posted, can you comment
and let me know about that, by the way? Thanks.)
probably guessed that something was wrong on my end, not yours. I
really do want to talk to you, and I miss your advice and
encouragement, but I guess it will just have to wait until next week.
stopped and I could not send my reply. I have not heard your voice in
seven weeks, and it looks like I will have to wait one more. As soon
as I can, I will contact you, I promise.
communication between here and home is not the only kind of
communication that is difficult. Even here, when I want to
talk to my few Nicaraguan friends, there's a language barrier between
us. They speak Spanish, I speak English (or Spanglish, at times).
Usually we manage conversation about day-to-day topics, but anything
beyond that - real discussions about life and meaning and God - are
basic at best and I find myself getting frustrated at times because I
can't get across what I am thinking.
I find myself getting frustrated a lot, actually. But God is using that
reaction to point out in me that I am NOT in control, and can do
nothing but trust Him. Ultimately, He's the only one with whom I can
have perfect communication. And at this moment, not being able to
connect with you is just pushing me to connect with Him more. So..
thanks, God. Let's hang out a bit. But next week, could I talk to my
family and friends, too?
