--- I MISS MY FAMILY.. I MISS MY MAMA AND PAPA.. I MISS MY GRANDMA.. I MISS MY AUNTs AND UNCLES.. MISS MY COUSINS.. I MISS MY CHURCH FAMILY.. I MISS MY FRIENDS.. I WANNA GO HOME.. :C



i am in my first semester in first year college and i am under a provision of a rare scholarship.. the scholarship provides everything i need to finish my education.. in one condition, i have to live apart from my family.. i have to live here in manila together with other scholars came from different parts of the Philippines.. it's been 4 months since the last time i've seen my mom or my family in general..

the scholarship aims to teach us how to live independently.. but i feel sad right now.. i know that everything works together for the good of everyone who loves Him (Romans 8:28).. i just need some encouragement.. i simply want a hug from my mom and dad right now.. T.T imissthemsomuch..


i can't give up.. i badly need prayers.. it's so hard to face another day doing things on my own.. and to end it without seeing my mom.. the scholarship also have programs or camps that sometimes, we have to stay inside the dorm during weekends.. even Sunday.. it's been two weeks since the last time i attended a worship service.. we are having group fellowship here.. yeah, but Sunday is the time for God right?


it seems that my heart longs for something i can't explain.. all i know is there's no place like home.. i miss my family and my church family.. I MISS FREEDOM.. what do you think i should do sir/madam?

*hugs* That must be difficult at such a young age.

If you have a machine of your own, and your parents has (or can be talked into getting one), then you can use skype to both call them "for free" (only internet usage), and see them with video call. Maybe that would help a bit?

Remember that God is always there with you, no matter if you feel good or bad.

all things will be beautiful in God's time, right? it makes me feel excited thinking about God's plan.. i dunno what it is.. but anyways, thanks for the suggestion madam but my mom and dad didn't know how to manipulate the net.. they're just calling me almost everyday.. but there are times that im yearning for my mom's presence..

Well, I'd suggest continuing to learn what it is they have to teach. As for feeling sad, and lonely, I'd advice speaking with a counselor about your feelings. Maybe they could arrange a phone call for you? Or some other means to help you feel better?

Either way, you're blessed with education, and fellowship. Some things others strive to work hard for.

I understand that. Is there a Christian fellowship there? Although it is obviously not the same as mom, it can help to have some women around to talk to

Edit: *turns around to look for the madam that must be standing behind me *

you're right sir.. it is God-given.. and we are so blessed for having it.. our school has this counselor but it would take hours to explain to her/him about my scholarship.. we sometimes simply hide it from other people to avoid long hours of explanation..

yeah, i have no choice but to learn what they are teaching us.. i just feel scared sometimes.. they're so strict..

its depend on u sweety
it doesnot depend where u r all it
depend how much pure is ur heart
when u ask lord JESUS for something
these r the time of struggle
just be calm and pray jesus for help
as u know JESUS says
:this world is full of sorrows dont be afraid i have won this world
and always remember luke 8;50

It's all part of growing up and leaving the roost.
Don't worry, they haven't forgotten you.
Now's the time when you'll really start to feel their prayers,
and begin to realize the true nature of the family of Christ.

That's why I try to remember to pray for those stuck in prisons for their faith.

Skype's a great idea. Can someone (maybe a net savvy relative) help your parents to connect to you via Skype? In this way you will be able to see them in real time, and it will reduce your homesickness.

You seem to be in the right place at the right time. As "Searching4Truth" has mentioned in his post, there are many who long to have the scholarship that you have received. So, continue to work hard and make the most of it. As a professional, you will be more influential for God.

Above all, do not worry!
Pray to God whenever you feel lonely, "casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you." (1 Peter 5:7)

Talking to God is so easy. You're connected all the time, and you don't need Skype

Phil 4
6Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
7And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Dear "Owned-by-God,"
I pray that you may have the peace of God that surpasses all comprehension.

That is rough .

It says lot about how close your family is which is nice . Can they come see you since you can't go see them? Skype helps some.

Praying for you....comfort and strength, and a big God hug

I understand how it feels to be away from home. God has plans for you why you need to be away. I was away one time and what I did to overcome this loneliness. I kept myself in prayer. I talk to the Lord. He will comfort you. God bless you

,, i guess, i just lack appreciation about my scholarship.. my mom always call me and i talk to her through phone almost everyday.. i just feel down at times, esp i felt sick this passed two weeks but im doing fine now.. im blessed for having God in my life.. and thank you all for the advices and being God's instrument to give me hope and strength..

i should give thanks in everything for this is the will of God through Christ Jesus concerning me.. God bless you all and i'll pray for you too.. may God's powerful hands and sufficient grace be with you always.. and see you soon.. glad to meet some parts of the family here.. <3 God bless..

thanks for the prayer.. ^^ im still far from them right now but i feel better.. and that's the poer of prayers.. thanks.. <3 we are separated by ocean.. and one of the major rule of the scholarship is that.. our family can only visit us for just once in two months or more.. about skype? i'll talk to my mom about that.. thanks for the suggestion.. thanks God for the hug.. ^.^ God bless..

i am in my first semester in first year college and i am under a provision of a rare scholarship.. the scholarship provides everything i need to finish my education.. in one condition, i have to live apart from my family.. i have to live here in manila together with other scholars came from different parts of the Philippines.. it's been 4 months since the last time i've seen my mom or my family in general..

i can't give up.. i badly need prayers.. it's so hard to face another day doing things on my own.. and to end it without seeing my mom.. the scholarship also have programs or camps that sometimes, we have to stay inside the dorm during weekends.. even Sunday.. it's been two weeks since the last time i attended a worship service.. we are having group fellowship here.. yeah, but Sunday is the time for God right?


it seems that my heart longs for something i can't explain.. all i know is there's no place like home.. i miss my family and my church family.. I MISS FREEDOM.. what do you think i should do sir/madam?

: first off: Im going to be real with you: I read what you said carefully, and: Im also a freshman in college too, and I think your over reacting: and maybe being clingy: Like, you said your on a scholarship: to me I think that's cool, and you also said this scholar ship aims to teach you how to live Independly: and so far, your just complaining how you miss your family/ church friends: and being sorry for yourself: I know it's hard to live away from your family, I would know: but, your not following your scholarship to me: your supost to learn how to " live Independly" and being away from your family is one of it: and church family too: Also, if you miss your family so much, why dont you just facebook them if they have, to keep in touch? or email your mom or dad: or skpye them and see them live on a webcam? or even better call your family once a week, and talk to them: Also you also said you " miss freedom" but insn't that what your shorship is about? and your in college: You have the freedom: Even more: You said you miss your old church friends, and said you haven't been to church for 2 weeks: Why cant you just find a another church near your college? Again, if you miss your old church friends, why cant you just fb them? and keep in touch then? and, why cant you just meet new people, at a new church? isn't what college is about? meeting new people: I think your over reacting, and too clingy when there's lots of situations:
