Family

This morning I had a conversation with my roommate Emily about family. I was telling her that I was feeling homesick and that I felt funny to be 25, starting my third year of grad school and being so homesick. Throughout our discussion I made a few realizations. I realize that my feelings of homesickness show how much I love my family, how important family is to me, and how much I long for family.

Our discussion also included our desires to have our own families. We both desire to be married and have children of our own. We know that the Lord has created us with these desires and that one day we will 'leave' our families (our parents) and begin new families.

I guess this post doesn't really say much other than I am okay with my feelings of homesickness. God has given me strong feelings and love for family and that is perfectly fine. So for now, I am trying to patiently wait for family.
