5,011 miles away
on a completely different continent
9 hours ahead of home
is not far enough away
to be removed from "being there".

6,552 hours
39 weeks
9 months
is not time enough
to be removed from "being there".

I am thankful to be loved by God-
ever faithful, true,
kind, compassionate
always wherever I am,
gently healing from the inside out.

"...that according to the riches of his glory He may grant you to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God."

Ephesians 3:16-19
