In a Little While

Once, a few years ago, I was having a bad week. I had lost my job and the guy I was dating all in a matter of three days. A dear friend from college sent me an email that week and all it said was--

We're just here to learn to Love Him, we'll be home in just a little while.

And yes, it is a quote from an Amy Grant song, but it's just.. so comforting. Today I woke up feeling homesick. And maybe the home I was picturing in my head was one with a husband and family--but what I'm really longing for is my real home--where friends won't ever leave, and the longing that follows us all of our days here.. will finally be answered.
