Homesick

I'm not one to get homesick easily. But man, these last few weeks I've been so homesick. Just about every night I dream about someone in my family, my friends, or some kind of food from America.... usually it is a combination of the 3. I had a dream about my mom and sister last night and was so sad when I woke up.
I'm sure the pregnancy hormones and being sick all the time only compound the problem, but I guess I just keep expecting the swell of homesickness to pass, and it doesn't.
I feel like we haven't even been here long enough for me to miss everything so much, but I do. I guess the difference between here and the other places I have been overseas is that it doesn't feel like home at all. There is little to nothing that resembles America here. In some ways I'm really grateful for that and can really appreciate it. In other ways, I just wish there was a McDonald's here or something. It's weird the things that make me feel at home. Even when I lived in Istanbul I didn't go to the American restaurants like McD's or Burger King, Pizza Hut, Subway etc that often, but it majorly made a difference that they were there. I don't like to think and certainly don't want to admit that my heart can be so tied to worldly things like food....but seriously, right now I feel like some bacon, guacamole, and a good cheeseburger could totally affect my happiness. I'm laughing at myself as I write this and at the same time holding back tears because it is really true. I just needed to confess that the world still has me in its grips, and even though Jesus is worth far more than the sacrifice of these small things - some days it is really hard.
I don't know that I will ever feel at 'home' here the way that I did in Turkey, but what I'm learning is that our home isn't anywhere in the world. I can get on a plane and go back to America and probably gain 20 pounds, but my heart would not be full. Ultimately, our home isn't here or anywhere in this Earth but in God's kingdom, and I'm sure it won't be defiled by the presence of a Mc Donald's... and I'm also sure that I won't mind at all if I spend eternity without those things. I don't know if I will miss you guys any less as time passes, but I am confident that God's grace is sufficient for me today.
